Certification nonsense and need for a code of ethics

I notice increasingly that especially in the world of NLP, trainers are referring to "certifications" as "qualifications" and worse still in some cases talking about such pieces of paper as "recognised qualifications" which of course is very misleading as they are at best certificates of attendance and nothing more. Another misrepesentation is when trainers call their training company "The British Institute of XXX" when they do not represent "Britain" and of course it's not even professionaly correct to call yourself an Institute in the United Kingdom...

In the AFPT we decided to avoid the whole certification nonsense and instead have associate and full memberships. Both types are expected to adhere to the AFPT code of conduct and to behave with integrity and professionalism. It also amazes me that many people don't realise that being "provocative" does not equate to being aggressive and I recently also blogged on this at www.nickkemp.com.
