I have regularly blogged on www.nickkemp.com about my concerns for the future of NLP. When I first studied NLP in the 1990s the emphasis was far more on learning whereas these days it seems to be more and more about making money at the cost to quality. There ar literally hundreds of "NLP Traiers" churned out each year and increasingly courses are cancelled as the public vote with their feet.
If NLP is to survive long term then organisations like ANLP who are not commercially aligned to any business are the best hope. Here at least there is a condideration for professional development and standards. It's my opinion that the entire certification scheme has done little to help with the public reputation of NLP and given it in some NLP Society circles of being similar to pyramid selling! Time will tell, but IMO there are a few rays of hope for the field and my hope is that the public will seek out trainings that have some quality checks and focus on skill development rather than simply entertainment...
