NLP Diploma

This training provides a stand-alone course in the Fundamental Skills of NLP. The strength of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) is its systematic approach: it teaches you how to understand how you, (and others), do what you do. NLP offers specific practical ways to improve your ability to communicate and produce rapid learning and behaviour change in yourself and others.

For professionals involved in ‘learning’ others, NLP offers tools that not only facilitate insights for themselves and their students, but also provide practical approaches that are transferable – the student can take them out of the classroom and into their lives.

Whilst designed to enhance the 'toolkit' of education and childcare professionals, the insights and skills you will develop are equally valuable for everyone. You need to bring nothing with you but your curiosity - and many have!

Each day or session of the Fundamental Skills training is structured to give participants:

• An overview of a specific area of NLP
• Opportunities to fit new learnings into their own ‘maps’
• Specific links to working with learning-related issues
• Practical experience with specific processes

(qualified assistants will be on-hand to coach participants and facilitate processes)

You will learn strategies to:

• Increase confidence
• Decrease anxiety and stress
• Communicate really effectively with children, parents and yourself
• Plan and set motivating goals that are realistic and achievable
