7-Day NLP Practitioner Training

The curriculum

What you'll master

Eight core skill sets, taught live and practised in the room. By the end of the week they're yours — in session, in the boardroom, and in your own head.

Connection

Rapport

Build instant, genuine trust with anyone — the skill every other technique sits on top of.

Day 1
State

Anchoring

Trigger confidence, calm or focus on demand — for your clients, and for yourself before you walk on stage.

Day 1–2
Change work

Timeline & Matrix Therapies

Release old emotional baggage and rewrite the stories that have been running the show.

Day 2–3
Habits

Swish patterns

Rewire an automatic response in minutes, and make the new one stick.

Day 3
Language

Meta & Milton models

The precision questions and the hypnotic language patterns behind the world's best therapists.

Day 4–5
Alignment

Parts integration

Resolve the inner conflict that keeps a client stuck between two options — so they can finally move.

Day 5
Beliefs

Submodalities

Change a limiting belief by working with the structure of the thought itself, not the story around it.

Day 5–6
Influence

Language of influence

How the words you choose shape the result you get — in coaching, leadership and everyday conversation.

Day 6–7

Course details

The overview

NLP is behavioural modelling: any skill done excellently can be decoded, taught and repeated. Across seven days you'll learn how mind, body, emotion and action hang together — and how to change one by changing another.

Who thrives in this training

No previous NLP experience needed. The people who get the most out of the week are the ones who'll actually use it on Monday.

Coaches

You already ask good questions. NLP gives you the change work that follows the question — so sessions go deeper and results land faster.

Teachers & therapists

Add evidence-based language and behaviour-change tools to work you're already good at. Most graduates say it sharpens what they were doing instinctively.

Leaders & managers

Influence, negotiate and give feedback with precision. The language patterns alone change how a team meeting runs.

Personal growth seekers

Everything you learn, you run on yourself first. Plenty of people come for the mindset shift and leave with a new profession in reach.

Good questions

Before you book

Do I need any NLP experience to start?
None. The Practitioner training is the entry point — we start at the presuppositions and build from there. Every technique is demonstrated live, then you practise it with the person next to you before we move on.
Is the certification recognised?
Yes. The training is aligned with NLP Association of Asia Pacific Inc standards and your Certified NLP Practitioner credential is recognised nationally. If you go on to the Diploma of Life Coaching, that pathway carries full ICF Level 1 and Level 2 accreditation.
Is it really seven days straight?
Yes — seven consecutive days, 9am to 5pm, in the room. It's intense on purpose: the skills compound day on day, and by day seven you're running full change-work sessions rather than practising pieces.
What's the pre-course work?
About 22 hours of audio learning you can do in the car or on a walk. It gets the language and the models into your ear before you arrive, so the seven days are spent practising rather than reading.
Can I use this in my existing job?
Most students do, from week one. Teachers, therapists, managers, HR and salespeople all use the language patterns and change-work tools inside the role they already have — well before anyone starts a coaching practice.
What if I want the full coaching qualification?
This training sits inside the Diploma of Life Coaching, so nothing is wasted. Talk to a course advisor and they'll map the shortest path from where you are to where you want to be.
