DBM^® Level I

Developmental Behavioural Modelling

DBM^® was developed over the last ten years by John McWhirter. Our training in DBM^® was initially through short courses and as an integration of the material into our NLP training. In the last three years we have offered ten day courses. 1996 saw the first full certificate training which comprised 120 hours training and an extensive modelling project. Level II training is only available to those who have attended Level I.
