Course Structure
This 19 day course is split into 6 modules.
The first, the NLP Life Skills module, is taught in two ways – you can pick what suits you best. Option 1 is two days live online with Phil. Option 2 is through 10 videos (approximately 1 hour each) and a comprehensive set of course notes which you can work through in your own time, followed by a 2 hour interactive session with Phil online over zoom.
This is followed by 4 live online modules personally taught by Phil. These are taught through a mix of interactive lectures, demonstrations and practice in small groups/pairs.
The course concludes with a 4 day clinical module, run in small groups live online over Zoom, which provides you with an opportunity to use your new skills to help real clients under the supervision of an experienced practitioner and gain expert feedback to further develop your skills.
Ahead of graduating you will need to complete written and practical exams. The written exams, two case studies and a book/film review, can be done in your own time and submitted to be marked by an examiner. For the practical exam, an examiner will observe you undertaking a complete client session and demonstrating your clinical competence – this can be arranged directly with your examiner at a time to suit you.
