"Where there is self-mastery, the face sparkles with confidence and shows no sign of struggle"

On the courses, the time we spend to together will literally change your life, before you can elicit fast and lasting change in others you must make some profound changes in your own life. Live without fear, the world is your oyster if you just reach out and grab the opportunity with both hands, now!

We teach by demonstration and installation, we install an accelerated learning strategy at the start of the course and maintain this template throughout. This is in line with the latest teachings and understandings of NLP and the Society of NLP. As for tape sets and other media, while this may prove a useful adjunct to training, one may want to question the competency of trainers that insist on such material. We prefer you to exit the course walking the walk instead of merely talking the talk.

What is NLP?

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is rapidly becoming recognised as the most effective technology for human achievement in every field - personal development, the arts, business, education, communication, sport...

This knowledge has helped us so much, personally and professionally, that we want to make it available to everyone. We know that people learn best when they feel secure and enjoy themselves, so we design our courses using the principles of accelerated learning to create an environment in which everyone finds it easy to learn.

You'll be surprised how easy it is to understand and use NLP, and the powerful difference it can make to your life and to the lives of people around you. more...

What is an NLP Practitioner?

A practitioner is someone who has learned to use the attitudes, principles and techniques of NLP as they are intended to be used for themselves and with others. NLP is based on the principle that all behaviour has structure which can be modelled, learned, taught and changed (re-programmed). Practitioners can organise information and perceptions in ways that allow them to achieve results that were once inconceivable - in both themselves and others.

Your mind is like a computer, it has it’s own operating system software to help you organise your thinking and behaviour. Almost all problems stem from negative programmes running in the unconscious mind. brain-training NLP mind programming can literally help you re-write the operating system of your mind to re-programme your unconscious mind with positive empowerment software.

Who will benefit from using NLP?

People join this course for different reasons, some to become therapists themselves and to start their own practice, some to enhance their business skills and some to enjoy the journey of many positive personal changes. Brain Train Academy NLP helps individuals and organisations make fast, positive, profound change — enhancing the quality, purpose and joy of life for thousands of people — using the easiest, safest, fastest and most effective techniques on the planet.

You may have marvelled at the recent ‘I can change you life’ program on SKY tv. Now you can learn and see for yourself how you to can achieve amazing results just like Paul McKenna.

Are certificates signed by Dr Richard Bandler?

Yes. The NLP Practitioner, NLP Master Practitioner and NLP Business Practitioner Certification courses are certified by the Society of NLP. Certificates are personally signed by Dr Richard Bandler (the Genius and Creator behind NLP), John La Valle (President of the Society of NLP) and Dawn Flockhart (Head NLP Trainer & Managing Director of brain-training).

Course Size?

Courses generally restricted in size to 8-20 people to guarantee the quality of the training and individual attention, so seats will be allocated on a first-come basis.

Courses generally run over 3 weekends spread over 6 weeks, allowing plenty of time to practice your NLP skills and get feedback/extra help from the trainers and other delegates. Feedback is encouraged and learning is fast. You will easily consolidate all that you learn in bite size pieces enabling you to use the skills more efficiently.

Continued Support?

The brain-training NLP Practice Group runs every month and helps you keep your skills up to date, practice on new clients and keep in touch with like minded people.
