IANLP Certification

IANLP is the Swiss-registered NLP association, one of the older European bodies. Factual summary for buyers who encounter it on a trainer's credentials.

What IANLP is

The International Association of NLP, registered in Switzerland in the 1990s, maintains a multi-level trainer and training recognition system with published curriculum guidelines. It recognises training institutes rather than certifying individual students directly — institutes issue certificates under its recognition.

What to make of it

Signals: European association recognition, defined curriculum guidelines, institute-level vetting
It does not: regulate practice, carry legal force, or guarantee any individual graduate's skill
In India: appears occasionally on trainers with European training history

Buyer's use

Treat IANLP recognition as context on a trainer's formation — useful biographical signal, nothing more. The evaluation checklist is body-agnostic for a reason: assessment and observed practice predict outcomes; logos predict marketing budgets.

Frequently asked questions

Is IANLP recognised in India?

No — association recognition only, no regulatory force anywhere.

How does IANLP differ from INLPTA?

Both are European associations; IANLP recognises institutes from Swiss registration, INLPTA is a trainers' association with duration standards. For buyers, both reduce to formation-context signals.
