Overview of our NLP Practitioner course / ILM Recognised Advanced Influencing & Personal Effectiveness Skills
Our ANLP recognised NLP Practitioner training course leads to this ILM Recognised certificate (see FAQs below). It is also a large part of the AC’s ACCT and ADCT courses. The ILM is the UK’s top leadership and management qualifications specialist, and the AC is one of the world’s leading coaching bodies, so you know you will be receiving high-quality training in any event.
The NLP Practitioner course focuses on how you can use NLP techniques in business/at work, coaching and sport to help you to achieve huge benefits. There are 10 days in 4 modules, plus pre-study. There is some additional work for the ILM and AC certificates (see FAQs).
The course is specially designed so that you not only know the coaching and NLP techniques, but also know that you know them and how to use them. In order for you to be a truly excellent NLP Practitioner or coach, we also cover what to do in those rare situations when it is NOT appropriate or safe to use NLP or to coach. And remember, we also offer a money-back guarantee if you’re not completely satisfied, so it’s a no-risk decision.

Frequently asked questions
What is the link to the AC (Association for Coaching) accredited courses?
This is covered in depth here. In summary, the AC has 4 levels of accredited coach training courses, and our NLP Practitioner training leads to two of them (Accredited Certificate in Coach Training – ACCT, and Accredited Diploma in Coach Training – ADCT). The additional study is explained on the relevant page.
How will you learn all this NLP Practitioner material in 10 days?
Before the course you will receive your own copy of approved audio learning material. This easy to learn pre-study takes around 50-60 hours, all of which you do before the course when and where YOU want.
During the formal training we touch on some of the theory you will already have learned from the pre-study, and update you with any recent techniques. You therefore spend much of the classroom time on practical exercises, getting it ‘in the muscle’.
The trainers and the coaching assistants will be there to give you feedback and support to heighten your proficiency. In addition, on the final day you will have the opportunity to integrate all you have learned on the course with a 2 hour coaching session.

What our students and clients say
I’ve undertaken three major trainings with Jeremy: NLP Practitioner, NLP Master Practitioner and most recently NLP Sports Practitioner. I keep coming back because the training is thorough, ethical and ecological, and it’s academically recognized. As a career coach I work with people at all stages of their career, across levels and across a wide range of industries.
– Dave Cordle
Jeremy has a unique approach to bringing out the best in people. He certainly practices what he preaches! Jeremy is one of a handful of trainers/coaches/practitioners that I would, without any hesitation, recommend to others. He is knowledgeable, ethical and shows genuine passion for the work he does and how best to serve others.

I have had the pleasure of studying with Jeremy, and the NLP he has taught has had a wonderful impact on my personal and professional life. Jeremy explains NLP in an accessible, easy, manner and for me took away the fluff of the subject. The practical help on the courses and the smaller classes give you a personal learning environment, perfect for this subject. I highly recommend Jeremy for anyone interested in NLP.

What I got from the training was much more than I ever imagined I would get from it, I was blown away by it. Jeremy’s professionalism and delivery of the training was second to none. ..

I feel privileged to have discovered NLP, it has changed my life. Understanding communication, the impact of language and being able to change unwanted behaviours has been the difference that made the difference for me.
