Can you learn NLP online instead of in a live-seminar style format? Learning NLP online can be an excellent option for the following reasons:
- You don’t have the ability to take 7 days off work to go take a certification
- It may be far more cost effective to take the course online (cutting out travel expenses, time off work, etc.)
- It may be better for the speed at which you learn
CAN You Learn NLP Online?
In short, yes it’s absolutely possible. However, it is important to recognize that everyone learns differently.
For example, some people are more visual, auditory, or kinesthetic.
Of course, no one is ONE of these things. We use all of our sensory systems in learning, but can struggle to really “get” things if we don’t tailor the learning to our preferences and style.
Some people can learn neurolinguistic programming from a book (I can!), but others have difficulty doing this.
Combining Online + Offline For Best Results
Watching and reading materials via online courses, books, and other review materials can be a great start to gain comprehension of the materials.
Engaging with other students of NLP in a live setting to practice the techniques, get feedback, make mistakes, and learn is a critical component when looking to really master the tools.
I highly recommend a combination of both online + offline training.
So, to sum it up:
Learning NLP online is certainly possible, and a great option considering the common difficulties of travel, costs incurred, and of course the speed and pace at which someone prefers to learn.
