recommended daily schedule/start/end/break times for prac training

[RL]

Hello everyone. I have a prac training in March in Salt Lake City. MOST of my people are flying in from other locations. I am leaning towards a 9-5 type of daily schedule, as I know folks will want to explore sights nearby. TJC does a 1-8 schedule if I recall correctly — any input on what works best and why? Does it matter? Personal preference? I need to make a decision swiftly.

Thank you!

hi Rebecca,

to me you can do any time that works for you and your students. when I have done my trainings I have done different times such as noon to 7 and noon to 8. the only thing about 9-5 if your students want practice sessions in the morning and a questions and answers portion for the test when would you slit that in. would you be giving them a lunch break which would cut back on the time for teaching or would you inform them to bring lunch and snacks with them and work through lunch. I know of trainers that did 9-5 and it worked out lovely.

Hi Rebecca,
I do 8am-6pm with homework assignments. Usually the first hour of the day is dedicated to answering questions, clarifying what was taught the day before and future pacing what will be covered during the day. Lunch is an easy break with light discussion (unsupervised). This timing has been working well in Malaysia. Have a great Prac Training with your students because I know they definitely will ?

Christmas greetings from Malaysia and happy holidays!

For me running the room (not teaching) 10-noon practice and 1-8 teaching works well from the students’ perspective: for practice time, breakthrough time, working on the test with others, and having breathing room for the entire transformative experience.
Then there is learning, demo, and exercise time for certification during mandatory classroom hours.
What I’ve seen, when you give them required time and optional time for practice you give the student the ability to choose how much they want to get from the class….you’ve left them an opening for 10 – 8pm and they choose to get every dime of value out of the experience, to utilize every moment of time to build their competencies and confidence, for their lives’ breakthroughs. This can be a very meaningful experience for the student and it leaves a deep impression, they leave saying “I paid $4000 for Rebecca’s class and I got $12,000 worth of breakthroughs.”

Plus you need to know how much energy you need to teach and what are the best times for you. Possibly if you taught 9am – 5pm you’d have practice time 6pm-9pm lightly supervised, meaning you pop in and out to check that they’re ok but technically you’re done for the day.

I see too much happen during practice time and out-of-training-hours time that stacks the value of their experience and the likelihood of them rolling over into EVERYTHING you teach, to not encourage you to look at extending your hours just a bit to give the students time to ‘hang out’ in your transformation bubble

Thanks for your replies. And where can I find how many hours are required in a prac, for certification, specifically, the breakdown of it? I see 120 hours of NLP training with a trainer is required, but I only add up 64 hours in an 8 day training, 8 hours a day… plus not even all of that is NLP because we are covering TLT and Hypno. Help 🙂

the time it takes to go through the prestudy audio is 20 hours
An 8-10 hour test
the time it takes to read each of the 3 prestudy books about 30 hours there

Hi Rebecca,

As per the timing, I have done both ways and find that 10-12 practice sessions and 1-8 official class works the best (for me) that being said yes think about whats best for your target audience. Laura has outlined many of the advantages of doing it in the same format as the TJC. As she mentioned the mornings sessions are amazing times to have those really connected 1 on 1 conversations with students and to help them fine tune there techniques which will give them greater confidence in getting results with there own clients.

Now as for the trainer this also gives you the opportunity to do any preparation before the day starts, when starting out this is really important and as you get more experience you may even bring in new pieces of research and segments much like Adriana continues to do each year.

Also keep in mind in addition the hours that both yourself and Laura have noted there is also evening homework and tasking which equates to around 20 hours also.

Happy Training, Enjoy it and Have FUN!
