Course Summary

Are you looking for easy to learn and practical NLP tools to manage yourself, understand and communicate better with others and get really clear about what’s important to you in your life and work?

NLP is short for Neuro-Linguistic Programming and describes the 3 parts of the human communication process.

  • The Neurological effect
  • The Language Patterns we use
  • The Programming is about our habitual programmes and behaviours and also how we can re-write those programmes

NLP was originally developed by Richard Bandler and John Grinder and is the study of excellence. They believed it was possible to identify the patterns of thoughts and behaviours of successful individuals and to teach or model them to others.

The NLP Diploma programme has been specifically created as a result of feedback from people like you who are looking for introduction training, leading to strong foundations in NLP. Even though NLP gives you the perfect tools for a practising coach, you do not need to have knowledge or experience in coaching to enrol in this diploma, as it is an entirely stand-alone programme.

When enrolling, you will join as a cohort with our NLP Practitioner students at the beginning of their training too, which means you are able to continue your journey and easily progress to the more advanced Practitioner level programme if you wish to.

We are also pleased to say our NLP Diploma is fully accredited by INLPTA (The International NLP Trainers Association) and meets their full assessment criteria.

A highly valuable and thought-provoking…

A highly valuable and thought-provoking session. There were several practical takeaways, particularly around supporting different thinking styles (e.g. encouraging doodling or fidgeting during meetings) and using reframing techniques to view situations from new perspectives. The NLP Triangle model and the focus on values and beliefs were especially impactful and easily transferable across different contexts. Overall, an insightful session that has positively influenced how I approach both personal and professional interactions.

Sarah and Gordon’s absolute commitment…

Sarah and Gordon’s absolute commitment to the trainee practitioner’s success was top notch. By taking us through a Milton Model’s exercise to calm nerves, reframe perspectives and draw resources from the unconscious mind was a game changer. Additionally, the structure of the assessment allowed practitioners buiid confidence with each assessment stage such that taking on the more complex techniques at the latter stages felt natural. They're are an ALL STAR TEAM. 💯💯💯

Immersive, Engaging & Enlivening NLP Course

NLP is a word many know about generally but very few know the depth of as an applied psychology. And even fewer know how to apply it within context, practically. Sarah Urquhart does all 3 1. She knows the basics and shared the principles simply 2. She understands the depth of this applied psychology 3. She know how to apply it in context, dynamically Thank you for an immersive, engaging & enlivening course for my first introduction to NLP. My favourite topics in NLP are rapport, sensory acuity, calibration and flexibility to achieve the outcome. What I love about the sessions are the breakout rooms where we are group attendees get to apply the theory we learn with Sarah. Can’t wait for parts 2 and 3 of this course! Highly recommend to anyone who want to learn NLP from a master practitioner who lives her craft. Sarah is patient and encouraging to share NLP with others, will answer any relevant question you have to help your own understanding and practice And - will make it an enjoyable & entertaining journey of learning along the way!
