Licensed NLP Training with Dr. Richard Bandler
You searched for the source. This is it.
Dr. Richard Bandler co-created NLP. Every program that exists — every certification, every course, every coach who uses these skills — traces back to him. Pure NLP® is the only place you train with Bandler directly, alongside the people he has worked with longest.
The lineage
In the 1970s, Dr. Richard Bandler and John Grinder observed the most effective communicators, therapists, and leaders in the world — and decoded what they were doing unconsciously into a precise, learnable technology.
That technology is NLP. What most programs teach are applications of it — techniques derived from the models, passed down through generations of trainers. By the time it reaches most students, the original understanding is long gone. Here, it hasn't moved at all.
Compare this to any other program: how many steps removed from Bandler is the person teaching you? Every step costs understanding. Every step adds interpretation. This is the only path with no steps between you and the source.
Who trains here
Dr. Bandler trains in every Pure NLP® program alongside John and Kathleen La Valle. This is direct access — not a licensed derivative.
A Society of NLP™ certificate signed by Dr. Richard Bandler and John La Valle is the original credential. Everything else is downstream from this.
Tony Robbins trained under Dr. Richard Bandler. The skills you've seen him use come directly from NLP. This is where you learn the source, not the application.
What NLP actually does
NLP is not a therapy. Not a script. Not a set of techniques you apply and hope for the best. It's the underlying model — once you understand it, you can generate new techniques on the spot. That's the difference between a recipe and a real skill.
Programs
Each program is taught live and in person by Dr. Richard Bandler, John La Valle, and Kathleen La Valle. No online options. No substitutes.

Co-trainer, Pure NLP®
Precision, clarity, and warmth in equal measure. The teacher students return to year after year because something finally made sense in a way it never had before.
How you learn it
You watch the pattern work live — not on a video, not described in a manual. In the room, with a real person, producing a real result.
Not later. Not at home. The moment you've seen it, you do it. The live human response is the feedback that makes the learning install at an unconscious level.
You are never practicing alone. The coaching that makes the difference requires the room — the precision that only happens in person.
There's a difference between time spent in a room and capability you use every day. This training is designed to produce the latter.
