NLP · Neuro-Linguistic Programming
Ahmad Youssef has been teaching NLP since 2002 — and he's widely credited as the person who first introduced NLP to Lebanon. More importantly, Ahmad didn't just teach NLP techniques as they are. He adapted and reshaped them to carry the spirit of Reconstruction (Reكن). The result is a real framework: every participant walks away with concrete tools, feels genuine change in their own life and in the lives of people around them, and gains the ability to help others too. That's why our NLP program isn't limited to graduating Practitioners. It covers every level, all the way to Trainer: Diploma, Practitioner, Master, and Training of Trainers (TOT) — all accredited by INLPTA.
What NLP is
Neuro-Linguistic Programming looks at the working relationship between three things: how the mind processes experience (neuro), the language it uses to organise that experience (linguistic), and the repeated patterns of behaviour that follow (programming).
It is not a theory of the mind. It is a practical toolkit — a set of models drawn from linguistics, cognitive science, and clinical practice — used to notice how a pattern is being maintained and, when useful, to change it.
Done well, NLP is precise and grounded. It does not promise miracles. It gives a person clearer language for what they are doing, and a real method for doing something different.
How it is taught at BANN
The certification is taught by Ahmad Youssef — a practitioner whose base is psychosocial consultancy, not seminar theatre. Every technique is placed inside the actual clinical context it belongs to: what it is for, when it fails, and what a responsible practitioner does instead.
It is delivered inside BANN Training & Consultancy, which has operated since 2008. That means the material is refined by years of running it with real practitioners — coaches, therapists, HR leaders — and adjusting for what actually holds up in the room.

Who this is for
Coaches, HR professionals, trainers, and therapists who want a credential built on real clinical practice — not weekend certifications repackaged for volume. You leave with a body of work you can actually use with clients.
People who are done reading about themselves and want tools that hold up under pressure — precise language for what they are doing, and a method for doing something different, on purpose.
Program details
The certification runs across three levels, with Training of Trainers as the advanced track beyond. Level One lays the foundation. Level Two builds the practitioner skill set. Level Three prepares you to train and certify others. Full curriculum, hours, delivery format, and certification details for all three are below.
Includes full curriculum, themes covered, trainer details, and certification information for all three levels.
FAQ
Level One is the Diploma Training — 3 days, 18 hours, no prerequisite. It gives you the foundational models and techniques of NLP. Level Two is the Practitioner Certification — 6 days, 36 hours, and requires Level One. It deepens the work and certifies you as an INLPTA-accredited NLP Practitioner.
No. Level Two builds directly on the models, language, and practice introduced in Level One. The prerequisite is firm because the practitioner level assumes you already own the foundation.
Level One runs face-to-face, online, or hybrid. Level Two is offered in-person or online. The exact format for each cohort is announced when registration opens.
Expect precision, practice, and real feedback. You will work with live examples, practice techniques in pairs or small groups, and leave with tools you can use immediately — not scripts to memorize.
Yes. All levels are accredited by INLPTA, the International Neuro-Linguistic Programming Trainers Association.
