“Today’s students often have full-time jobs and families. They need flexible education: education that allows them to combine job, family, and education in a manageable way.” M. F. Paulsen,  2003

When Janis Ericson developed Hybrid NLP, it was her vision to create a program that provided access to the powerful and life transforming tools NLP offers. Not every individual feels compelled to learn in a standard classroom using traditional methods. And, after years of research on the matter it has been discovered that true learning requires both adequate integration of the material and interaction with other students and teachers. This means that in order to learn something fully, you need both time and access to instructors and materials. But, this can be costly and time consuming. Hybrid NLP courses solve this problem.

To get around time and money constraints, other NLP schools have become diploma mills offering certification after just a few days of training. Instead, Hybrid NLP provides real learning through books, videos, audio programs, and live training. Students are able to read about NLP, then are able to watch the skills being used on actual clients. You can listen to language patterns on CD and get tips in our forum, because long term learning is best achieved through multiple sensory system channels. Hybrid NLP is also cost-effective, giving students the opportunity to learn on their own time, reducing time away from work and lowering travel expenses for training. Instead of paying for three weeks in a hotel and training fees, you can learn most everything you need at home. Then when you’re ready for certification, attend a live seminar and take a test. That’s it! And the best part is, you get to keep all the materials so that you can refresh your learning for free- any time and any where.

Hybrid NLP is a blending of “online” and “in-person” activities and resources.

This revolutionary learning process allows students to:

1.  Work at their own pace (as much or little as they want or are ready for).
2.  Repeat and come back to key lessons and information as many times as they need to in order to get full comprehension (you won’t miss anything).
3.  Learn in their own environment (you don’t have to drive to and from training sites).
4.  Save time (no loss of income-producing opportunities).

Training is provided through individual training modules. Each module provides a series of readings, practice exercises, video demonstrations, and online testing. There are also instructor-led online discussions in our forum.  All of these materials comprehensively cover the core skills of NLP Practitioner and Master Practitioner training.

Participants in the distance learning pathway are highly encouraged to practice what they are learning in two ways: (1) with other students involved in the distance learning program, through the Internet, discussion forums, etc., and (2) by sharing and practicing what they are learning with friends and colleagues.

The certification path culminates in a live training and certification session in San Francisco, CA (other locations may be available). The emphasis of this session is on working directly with clients and colleagues, as this is a core skill in using NLP. We will also be testing your ability to use the techniques and select appropriate uses for the techniques you have learned.

Your trainer, Janis Ericson, has been studying personal development since the age of eleven, beginning first with the metaphysical teaching of Edgar Cayce and progressing to hypnosis by the age of sixteen. After decades of studying spiritual healing, she felt a need to find scientific research to support her beliefs. Through her interest in science and her natural skepticism, she came across NLP- and let go of many of her prior beliefs about healing. Finally she found a technology that made real, lasting changes in human behavior and allowed a person to be true to themselves.

For the past ten years, Janis has integrated NLP into her every day reality, by coaching, teaching, and applying the concepts in her own life. She’s seen remarkable results, and is dedicated to promoting what works. HybridNLP is the culmination of this endeavor.

Janis Ericson lives in San Francisco, where she sees clients, writes books, and loves every day.
