Graduate Certificate in Neuro-linguistic
Programming
Nationally accredited, comprehensive NLP Training in
Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane
Neuro-Linguistic Programming, or NLP, enables you to
unlock the structures of human communication and of human
excellence.
The discipline has been applied successfully across
business, sport and personal development. Now, for the
first time, NLP training in Australia has been given
both academic underpinning and recognition.
Recognised nationally, endorsed
internationally
The Graduate Certificate in Neuro-Linguistic
Programming is the World's first fully-accredited
post-graduate qualification in NLP. With it you will
have access to any opportunities that specify graduate
certificate entry.
This course exceeds existing standards in the NLP
community and sets a new benchmark for NLP education.
It supersedes the Course in Practitioner of NLP and the
Master Practitioner of NLP.
Just as important, this is the first time a rigorous
program in NLP has been created with the endorsement of
a founder. John Grinder, one of the two founders of
NLP, has certainly made his opinion clear:
"Inspiritive, under the able direction of Jules
and Chris Collingwood represents the finest in
training available anywhere at present in the
world"
The material in the course covers all the
significant developments in NLP from the major schools.
It reveals how some commonly thought material that is
not NLP can be identified.
Unlike courses that teach periphery applications,
The Graduate Certificate in NLP will take you to the
very heart of the field. You will experience rigorous
training in NLP and be given the opportunity to develop
your own NLP applications.
Outcomes for business and personal life
NLP is a unique discipline that enables you to
think, communicate and manage others more
effectively. The Graduate Certificate program gives
suitably qualified entrants the opportunity to refine
their communication skills for personal advancement and
commercial benefits.
Used correctly, the discipline helps you identify
excellence, then discern the patterns of behaviour and
language behind it. This is creating a model. Every NLP
pattern in the syllabus has been modelled on someone
who has demonstrated excellence in his or her
field.
Training will provide outcomes on three levels.
Outcomes for personal life:
- Optimise your stress levels
- Master your emotional levels to support high
performance
- Reframe events and increase your options
- Drop unwanted habits when you choose to
- Create empowering beliefs that work
- Improve your memory
Outcomes for communication:
- See, hear and feel from many perspectives to
support high performance
- Interact effectively in multiple contexts
- Create rapport with others
- Communicate compellingly to different people
- Use Metaphor to communicate your ideas
Outcomes for management:
- Acquire precise and elegant language to enable
high quality results
- Identify resources to achieve goals smoothly
- Mediate change in your self and others for more
options
- Think globally and specifically; solve problems
more effectively
- Negotiate win-win solutions at work and
elsewhere
Full training in two parts
The complete course - Parts 1 and 2 - comprises a
total of nine units over 40 training days. Entry to
Part 2 is only available to applicants who have
completed Part 1.
Part 1 - Learn proven models of excellence
Part 1 is a comprehensive, skill-based course in the
essential abilities of people who excel at what they
do. John Grinder and Richard Bandler (the originators
of NLP) identified and modelled these patterns of
effective thinking, behaviour and communication. They
learned to reproduce these skills in their own
behaviour (modelling) and then described them
explicitly so others could learn them too. These skills
form the basis of Part 1 of the course.
This course is a rigorous, experiential training
that empowers you to create lasting change in your
life. This is achieved by teaching you to work with
real situations, problems and experiences. Course
elements include presentations, demonstrations, guided
exercises and practice. Feedback and discussion
sessions will help you achieve through immersion into
the NLP experience. Partner and group activities are
designed to provide you with memorable learning and
evidence of of your NLP mastery through contact with
other people.
Each student will receive a copy of the NLP Field
Guide: Part 1, by Jules and Chris Collingwood
and Whispering in the Wind by Carmen Bostic St Clair and John Grinder (co-creator of NLP).
Part 2 - Create your own models of excellence
If you can create your own models of human
excellence, you have the leverage to learn any skill
you choose. This is the emphasis of Part 2.
Acquisition of excellence in any endeavour lends
itself to creating a model, not a theory. Being able to
model gives you the means to create your own NLP
applications instead of depending solely on those
developed by other people.
You will learn formal self-modelling by exploring,
transforming and developing your self-concept. This
element of the Graduate Certificate in NLP is for
personal development and working with others.
you have an opportunity to explore experientially,
model and then make explicit significant patterns,
perceptual filters and values which are present in your
maps of self, your self-concept. Participants then have
the opportunity to work with each other to transform
any limiting patterns.

Guide: Part 2, by Jules and Chris Collingwood
"Being able to model gives you the means to create
your own applications instead of depending on
existing NLP processes."

A training format to suit you
Modular 20 day format for each of Parts 1 and 2:
divided into four monthly sessions of five days each.
We usually train Thursday to Monday including the
weekend to allow for work/life balance during your
learning.
Intensive 20 day format for each of Parts 1 and 2:
divided into two sessions of seven days each and one of
six days with two days off between each session.
Both formats conform to the accreditation
requirements of 158 hours of live contact training
sessions for Part 1 and Part 2.
In both parts of the course, candidates will be
assessed through:
- Experiential evaluation (Live demonstration of
skills in the training room)
- Written evaluation (written take home questions
with three months to complete)
- Continuing coaching and evaluation throughout the
course.
"Experiential training takes time. We want people
to be able to do NLP, not talk about it."
- Jules Collingwood
Making NLP a life skill
All of Inspiritive's NLP certification courses are
structured around the core competency of NLP modelling.
We model what we teach and create contexts for you to
discover the patterns in action. You will experience
the patterns through exercises, games and tasks.
This has been called the "emergent approach" to
learning NLP. It enables students to communicate
spontaneously and naturally, with our own style and
vocabulary. We respond flexibly to the patterns we
observe in other people's communication instead of
relying on scripted techniques or conscious
formats.
Our emphasis is always on replicating the skill or
pattern in question, not talking about it and not
reproducing a scripted format. As a result you will
experience emerging NLP patterning in your daily life,
from which appropriate understanding then follows.
"Traditionally, psychology has been about
studying the norm, but NLP deliberately focuses on
the exceptions. It provides a methodology for
modelling excellence in human behaviour."
- Chris Collingwood
