Before starting Premier NLP Certification, candidates complete a short Pre-Programme Commitment Agreement. This agreement significantly improves results and ensures that both you and the programme begin from a place of clarity, responsibility, and mutual understanding.

This page outlines the commitments you will be asked to make. They are not bureaucratic conditions — they are part of the competence-based approach that defines Premier NLP Certification.
Why a Pre-Programme Commitment Matters
Completing the agreement:
- builds clarity and focus
- strengthens intention
- sets the foundation for success
- reinforces responsibility
- filters for readiness
- supports honest communication
- improves long-term outcomes
It is the first behavioural step in the certification journey — and an early indicator of competence.
The Commitments You Agree To:
These are the commitments included in the full agreement. You will review and confirm them formally before your Discovery Sessions.
1. Commitments Before the Discovery Sessions
You agree that the Discovery Sessions:
- are part of the coaching and certification process
- require honesty, openness, and active participation
- are an opportunity to explore goals, challenges, and potential
- help determine whether the programme is right for you
- culminate in a free, voluntary decision to continue or not
The Discovery Sessions are working sessions, not sales conversations.
2. Personal Commitments (Mindset & Behaviour)
Success in Premier NLP Certification comes from how you behave, learn, practise, and apply the principles.
You commit to:
- showing ambition, courage, discipline, and honesty
- treating the programme as an adventure
- taking responsibility for your learning
- completing agreed actions between sessions

These qualities support the development of real NLP competence.
