Just before we introduce Retter's NLP Master program, combined with guided imagery
Since we deeply respect your time and ours,
we also want to be clear about who our program is less suited for.
Our program is not suited to those who
- prefer a quick certificate at the expense of learning quality and truly absorbing the material
- want knowledge but are less willing to invest the effort and put it into practice
- are looking for magic solutions, shortcuts and cut corners
Want to develop real expertise in an in-depth program? Excellent!
Once you leave your details, we will get back to you with all the information about the introductory lesson on the method
We focus solely on training NLP facilitators
NLP studies combined with guided imagery are the purpose and essence of the college, and we do not teach a single course from any other field. The expertise we have gathered, developed and refined over three decades is training people to become outstanding NLP facilitators.

Training program, Stage 1 – NLP Practitioner course
Our facilitator training follows a highly structured, systematic and clear methodology. The first stage is the NLP Practitioner course, which includes a wide range of everyday tools and practical techniques that make it possible to create noticeable changes in every area of life in a short time.
At this stage we will learn, among other things:
How to free yourself from tension, distress and fear
How to work through memories from the past that hold you back, clear them and close open loops, in order to release difficult emotions, make peace with the past, forgive the people who were there and yourself as well, strengthen your confidence and belief in yourself, and learn from the past to improve the future.
How to improve interpersonal communication and refine social skills in order to build quick, good chemistry with people, resolve conflicts pleasantly, win cooperation from family members and work colleagues, ask the right questions to move a conversation forward, listen with real quality, learn to express emotions openly and to hold space for the emotions of others, understand deeply the differences between people, and let go of concepts such as “right” and “wrong.”
How to run your brain more efficiently and create clear, focused, positive thinking at every moment, so you can easily achieve many changes. Behavioral changes, such as quitting smoking, biting your nails or eating in an unbalanced way. On the thinking level, changing unhelpful thought patterns, limiting beliefs and intrusive thoughts. On the emotional level, releasing difficult emotions, coming out of depression, learning how to manage anxiety and managing to relax naturally and simply.
How to cope with challenging situations and strengthen self-confidence using inner abilities and resources, so you can adapt to changes such as a change of career or family circumstances, and get the most out of yourself at work, in various exams, in interviews and in front of an audience.
How to gain direct access to your inner strengths – creativity, power, humor, gentleness, patience and more that already exist within you – and use these abilities naturally and fluidly to meet life's challenges. How to temper anger and other difficult emotions in order to be calmer, release stress, improve communication with others and achieve the same results in a more pleasant way.
How to break free of harmful habits such as overeating, smoking and other addictions in order to improve your mental and physical health, gain a sense of self-control without a struggle and live at peace with yourself. How to free yourself from dependence on another person, from the past or the present, and develop independence out of personal strength, to be more whole, more confident in yourself and your abilities, and to recognize your inner strengths.
How to maintain the changes you have achieved over time, so you never again experience the feeling of failure when things return to how they were. For example, knowing after losing weight that the weight will not come back, so you can turn your attention to what truly matters in life.

We have answered the most frequently asked questions about NLP Master training for you
(but if you have more questions, you are welcome – and encouraged – to reach out to us)
I completed an NLP Practitioner course at another school. Can I join the Master directly at Retter College?
Absolutely! You can join our NLP Master Practitioner course provided that the institution where you completed your foundation training is officially recognized and certified by the Israeli NLP Chamber. That said, we will share from our experience: many graduates who come to us from other institutions are surprised by the depth, the amount of practice and the unique integration of guided imagery in the Retter method. Many of them choose to study the full training track with us from the very beginning in order to fill in gaps, or continue with us all the way to the summit on our “Stars Track” – to NLP Trainer certification. We would be happy to review your certificate and advise you on the most precise point of entry for you.
I'm interested in taking an NLP course online (on Zoom). How do you make sure the level of study stays high?
Good question. Until COVID, we did not think NLP could be taught remotely; it seemed to us that participants would not be able to be in direct contact with one another. Nor did we imagine a situation in which therapist and client meet in any way other than the one we had known until then – “face to face.”
But the pandemic revealed a new world to us. We discovered that you can treat and teach through Zoom. Here too, people meet, get moved and reach real depths – and all of it remotely.
So, from then until today, we have learned the possibilities this wonderful application offers us: how to facilitate individuals or a group on Zoom, how to maintain interest as well as intimacy.
Yes, Zoom has features that preserve the personal connection. For example, during the studies we divide the participants into “private rooms,” so that each pair or trio enters a private session and practices with maximum intimacy, without the rest of the group present. The course facilitator can enter the private rooms, watch what is happening and help if needed.
Over time we discovered that Zoom has advantages too. Beyond the fact that after graduating it is very easy to find clients who even prefer remote treatment, during the studies themselves it is very easy to keep the classroom quiet, everyone sees everyone's eyes and hears easily, no time is lost on the road or in traffic jams, there is no need for parking and there are no fuel costs. Everyone studies comfortably at home. There are no rental costs, so we even lowered the price of our courses by 10%.
An NLP course on Zoom is not right for everyone. But some people connect wonderfully, and we have found that even those who do not connect at first learn over time to enjoy it.
For some people Zoom is an ideal way to learn: those who live in the periphery or even abroad, those with limited mobility, those with weakened immune systems and more. All of them would prefer the Zoom course at this time.
You have complete freedom of choice. Whoever prefers can study in an in-person course, and others can study on Zoom.
Why is NLP training at Retter College longer and more comprehensive than at places that offer a certificate in a short time?
To reach the Master level, you need a strong foundation. A real NLP course cannot come down to a few days. A certificate is important, without a doubt, but it is worth judging its value by three tests: the knowledge it gives, the authority that issues it, and its value on the market. We have been teaching NLP for 30 years, and we offer the full range of certificates, from Practitioner to NLP Trainer.
Behind the certificates lies a great deal of thought, based on our experience with thousands of students. True, we could have given less, putting less emphasis on integration and application. But in practice, what we give is the knowledge without which you cannot really work in NLP and succeed over the long term. It matters to us that everyone who receives a certificate from us knows how to use it to create change, in themselves and in others. Who stands behind the certificate? Retter College is the largest college in Israel, the first to teach NLP in Israel, and is recognized as an institution approved by the prestigious ABNLP to grant an international certificate. Over the years we have built a strong reputation with NLP and guided imagery and become synonymous with the best training in the field. It is a fact that most of those who have worked in the profession over time (the vast majority!) studied with us. Many of our students have told us that they took courses elsewhere and then repeated the course at the college. Shall we let you in on a secret? Most of the teachers at other well-known colleges around the country were trained at Retter. So the certificate that Retter College graduates receive is highly valuable, both in the job market and in practice, in the field.
You can find an NLP studies program at a lower price. Why choose yours?
Every expense deserves thought. That is perfectly clear. On the other hand, if you have truly decided to work with NLP, it is important to remember that, unlike many courses, this is training that will let you earn a living right after you finish your studies. So it will certainly pay for itself, well before other programs. As for price, we are certainly more expensive than most places that teach NLP, but that is only the bottom line and does not reflect what you get for every shekel. If we get into the details, there are many more hours of learning and practice here, and much more experience, which is exactly what is needed. Besides, we have already said that most practitioners in the field studied with us. So yes, there are online NLP courses, even many. Some training is more highly recommended and some less. There are short NLP courses and long ones, with practice and without – there is even a free NLP course! We are sure you can find courses of every kind and variety, but the question is what you gain from the course and what you take with you into the field. For us, your ability to succeed matters above any price.
Retter's in-depth program gives you enough time to go through a truly meaningful process and break through your blocks, while developing the ability to help others. Now, the question we believe is truly important to ask is: what prices have you paid in your life for not managing to make the longed-for change you wanted so much? Not necessarily the price in money. The price of damage to your quality of life, the price of the feeling of missed opportunity, guilt and anxiety – perhaps in the fear of teaching your children bad habits. Or of working in a profession that is not good for you.
Is there really a price on quality of life – on living well with yourself and your family, and teaching your children by personal example the values that matter to you? Is there a cheap or expensive price for your health, whether physical or mental? Is there a cheap or expensive price for the relationships that are good for you? Bottom line – we have no doubt that the money spent on the best study program will pay for itself in a short time.
Alongside the understanding that investing in your quality of life is worth any price, you may still be pleased to discover that there are discounts, benefits and eligibility for tuition reimbursement:
– Studies at Retter College are recognized by the continuing-education fund (keren hishtalmut) for teachers on sabbatical (6–8 weekly hours per course!), the Knowledge Fund for civil servants, mothers whose children attend Tamat daycare centers, vocational training for IDF retirees, the absorption basket and the rehabilitation basket.
– As an additional bonus, we offer a “Refer a Friend” benefit to every student who refers a new student.
This requires a certain openness, right? What happens if I don't connect with the facilitator or the group?
Our facilitators are all Retter College graduates with years of experience. We know them personally and in depth, and we choose them carefully. We do not compromise on the quality of facilitation, nor on communication and human relations. We are closely involved in what happens in all the courses, and we personally support and guide our teaching staff throughout the school year, receiving and reading every piece of feedback about them. Our students love the teachers who lead them to success and excellent results. So it is important to us that you trust us on this – we do not skimp and we do not compromise here. It also happens that a student does not connect with the group they signed up for. It is rare, but we are always attentive to it and do whatever is needed so that everyone finds their place in the group. Our advantage as a nationwide college is that about ten courses run simultaneously across the country, so anyone who feels they really cannot connect can move to another group.
How is a long professional training better than a crash course?
In our first years of operation, we also ran short programs. But we quickly realized that to become a professional therapist and earn a valuable NLP Master certificate, a program of just days or weeks is not enough.
In a short course it is simply impossible to convey and absorb all the vast knowledge and skills required. This inevitably undermines the facilitator's confidence and ability to apply the tools in the clinic. We are confident in the results achieved through NLP studies and guided imagery, but to achieve the maximum, we must make sure we have covered everything that is needed.
The comprehensive track lets you experience things in depth, both wearing the facilitator's hat and as the client. During this period you have real time to digest, apply and practice everything, both in the classroom and outside it.
If it matters to you to go through a deep, fundamental personal change that lasts, and at the same time to learn how to pass it on with complete confidence – you have to do it right and thoroughly. What is learned quickly and with shortcuts is usually forgotten just as quickly. Deep learning is what brings fast results that stay forever.
As you have seen, Retter College has the most experience in NLP training.
