What's in the NLP Practitioner course syllabus?

Day One: Introduction and Fundamentals

The program kicks off with introductions, setting a relaxed atmosphere. The day is mainly about reviewing foundational concepts from the pre-course materials. Participants explore the NLP Communication Model, focusing on how one's mental state can influence performance. Engaging discussions are held about the beliefs of successful individuals and the ethics of coaching. Building rapport through recognising internal cues like eye patterns and language is emphasised, along with observing physiological changes to enhance reading people.

Day Two: Mind’s Perception and Techniques

On this day, delve into how the mind shapes reality. Participants learn about how experiences are encoded using 'modalities' through our senses and 'submodalities' for finer details. Practical exercises such as contrastive analysis for shifting preferences and changing limiting beliefs are introduced. The SWISH pattern is also taught to help in eliminating negative states tied to specific contexts.

Day Three: Language and Metaphors

The focus shifts to the power of language and metaphors in shaping reality, especially in a business context. Learning to ask the right questions helps understand different perspectives. The day includes strategies for using abstract language to build rapport and negotiate effectively. Participants are introduced to techniques for reducing resistance and enhancing communication through the Milton Model.

Day Four: Coaching Application

This day emphasises the unique aspect of coaching in this training. Participants examine practical coaching models like The GROW Model and performance-enhancing techniques. Planning and setting effective coaching cycles and tasks are key topics, along with understanding deeper personal motivations. Hands-on coaching practice with peers is incorporated to solidify learning.

Day Five: Anchoring and Time Line Therapy™

The morning begins with techniques such as Resource Anchoring and Collapsed Anchors. Participants learn how Time Line Therapy™ assists in overcoming mental blockages and limiting beliefs. Linguistic coaching strategies are employed to tackle negative emotions, rounded off with a session to review and expand on personal goals.

Day Six: Advanced Techniques

Participants are trained to guide others in using Time Line Therapy™ for optimal results. Additional advanced methods such as Parts Integration to resolve inner conflicts and the fast phobia model are covered, providing a comprehensive toolkit for practitioners.

Concluding the course, participants revisit anchoring techniques and learn to interpret decision-making processes from unconscious cues. The session introduces a systematic five-step sales process, empowering participants to guide others in decision-making.

Why Neuro-Linguistic Programming? What is NLP?

NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) is a versatile set of tools and techniques that allow you to create quick, effective, and lasting change and consistently produce your desired results.


NLP was created in the 1970s by Richard Bandler and John Grinder. Having studied a number of people who excelled in their fields of communication, therapy, behaviour and psychology they created a number of models, which others could use to replicate the excellent behaviour in themselves and others.

NLP is an amazing instruction manual with a blueprint of how to use your mind, allowing you to achieve excellent results quickly and easily in both your personal and professional lives.

But it’s more than just a set of tools and techniques; it is also an attitude and a methodology. A curious mind and willingness to change will see you accelerate your ability to change into the best version of you yet.

Neuro - is all about how we filter the world through our senses and nervous system

Linguistic - is all about how we use language to code and convey our thoughts with precision or imprecision

Programming - is how we code our values, beliefs, and motivators to achieve

If you want a formal definition of NLP, here you go:

"NLP is the study of the structure of subjective experience. It is both an attitude and a methodology that leaves a trail of techniques. The methodology centres around the modelling of excellence."

Translated, this means that brilliant practitioners in the field of the mind and communication have been studied, and the most excellent things they do have been modelled so that there is a set of truly practical techniques that we can all use in our daily lives to improve the way we think and live.

NLP is truly transformative. Just ask anyone who uses the techniques on a daily basis or who has had NLP Coaching.

Who Can Benefit from NLP?

This transformative course is ideal for individuals from various sectors who are eager to enhance their personal and professional growth. Whether you're involved in business, sports, training, education, consultancy, or holistic practices, NLP offers valuable insights and skills.
