Neuro-Linguistic Programming Practitioner Training
The key to understanding how others think, communicate and behave
OVERVIEW OF THE TRAINING
What you will discover
During the course you will come to understand how we think, behave and communicate through the underpinnings of NLP.
This course is delivered, not only through gaining a grasp of the theory but though demonstrations of practical techniques and lots of opportunity to practice these with fellow delegates.
This is a practical course provided in a supportive in-person setting, delivered over 14 days (one weekend per month) with supplementary materials provided via an online learning platform.
About this training:
Focussing on new ways of thinking and behaving, this course is designed to give you the opportunity and understanding to support others and to take charge of your own thoughts, supporting you in your personal and professional life to help you achieve your goals.
Through learning how you think and what you convey, this programme is designed to help you address unconscious patterns of thought so that you are no longer held back by limiting beliefs and outdated programmes, enabling you to move forward into the future you desire.
Who this course is for:
This course is for anyone who wishes to develop personally, as well as develop beneficial skills and tools to help in their interactions with others.
Our delegates come from a wide range of backgrounds including:
- Therapists and coaches who want to have a deeper understanding of their clients’ mindsets, drives and motivations so that they can effectively support them to make the changes they need.
- Educators and Trainers who want to deliver learning in a more personalised and targeted way.
- Business professionals who wish to improve their sales or manage their staff in a more constructive way.
- Individuals who want to develop their understanding of others and improve their communication skills.

Curriculum Content:
To ensure high standards this course follows the core NLP practitioner curriculum set out by the ANLP to ensure that by the end of the course you have the skills required to positively influence others through the use of language and rapport, elevating your skills in your chosen field and giving you the flexibility to navigate your life in a direction that works for you.
Upon qualifying you will receive your NLP Practitioner Certificate and 3 months introductory membership to the Association for Neuro-Linguistic Programming (ANLP)

About the trainer:
Already a practicing hypnotherapist with a busy therapy practice, I was drawn to developing a deeper understanding of language patterns, thought processes and communications styles. After doing a CPD course in NLP, I was intrigued and decided to add this string to my bow, training first as an NLP Practitioner in 2017 and then as a Master Practitioner, qualifying in 2018.
As my training with Philip Underwood drew towards completion, he encouraged me to go and do my NLP Trainers Training qualification. With small children and a flourishing therapeutic practice, this felt like a huge undertaking, challenging me to my limit. As I grew professionally with this training, I learnt about myself at a deeper level and upon taking my final examinations and assessments, I qualified as an NLP Trainer, who is registered with the ANLP, in March 2019.
From then until now I have taken some time to think about what sort of NLP trainer I want to be, continuing to develop my knowledge and understanding to ensure that the contents of my training is accessible and enjoyable for those who wish to join me.
After many requests for me to run this course, I have finally decided that 2027 is the time to go for it.
I hope to see you there!
