NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) was developed by Richard Bandler and John Grinder in the early 1970s at the University of California in Santa Cruz. They defined NLP as the study of the structure of subjective experience. Today, NLP is considered one of the most user-friendly and possibly most comprehensive collections of coaching techniques, and it continues to evolve. The term NLP is meant to express that (often unconscious) habits („programs“) in the brain („neuro“) can be changed with the help of language („linguistic“).

It’s impressive how Stefan manages to convey in-depth content in such an easy and understandable way. You are practically glued to his lips and always have plenty of room to practise and apply what you have learnt directly. It’s an easy way to learn!
Teamlead Agile Transformation
Working with Stefan during my NLP training left a lasting impression. His sessions were intense and focused, yet also incredibly compassionate. He has a rare ability to make complex topics tangible – combining depth, insight, and a good sense of humor. Stefan inspires you to look beyond the surface and to question assumptions with kindness and patience.

The session with Pascal was honestly mind-blowing. He asked the exactly right questions, leaving me with so much food for thought, helped me to unblock some anxieties and taught me methods to overcome initial triggers…. he was able to change my whole attitude and I am still trying to figure out how he did his magic.
I feel transformed and highly recommend Pascal for 1:1 coaching, with a focus on public speaking! Thank you Pascal for this experience – I will be forever grateful
Tech Evangelist at nyris
Pascal is a great coach for whenever you need to give an outstanding presentation. He will help you break down your pitch, analyze it from different perspectives, and suggest improvements and changes. Not only will he support you through the construction of compelling storytelling, but he will also help you give your presentation that wow effect. Very nice working with you, Pascal. Many thanks for everything.
We run live, 45-minute info webinars on demand rather than on a fixed calendar. As soon as at least a handful of prospective students confirm interest, we schedule a slot that works across time zones and send you a Zoom link.
During the webinar you’ll meet both lead trainers, see a short demo of an NLP technique, and have unlimited Q&A time. Can’t make it or already convinced? Feel free to enrol straight from the wait-list email—no separate “deposit” step is required. Your place is secured once you return the simple enrollment agreement.
Our next cohort is planned for early 2026 (target window: February – March). Final dates depend on venue availability and the size of the confirmed group, but you’ll receive at least four months’ notice before Day 1.
The programme runs over 18 in-person days, grouped into six extended weekends (Friday – Sunday) so you can balance work and travel. Class size is capped at 20 participants to guarantee individual feedback.
As soon as the schedule is locked, you’ll get a detailed orientation pack, recommended reading, and optional peer-meetup dates so you can start practising before the training even begins.
Below you’ll find detailed answers to the questions we receive most often about the certified NLP course.

Upon successful completion of all modules you receive a Practitioner-level certificate issued under the guidelines of the German Association for Neuro-Linguistic Programming (DVNLP e. V.)—the largest NLP professional body in Europe. The credential is recognised by coaching associations and employers worldwide.
No. We start with core coaching competencies then build upward to advanced NLP and other techniques. Roughly 40 % of our participants are complete beginners; the rest are HR professionals, managers, therapists, or agile coaches looking to deepen their toolkit. Everyone benefits from the intensive supervised practice hours.
We cap each cohort at 20 participants and always have two senior trainers in the room. That gives you a maximum 1 : 10 ratio, ensuring individual feedback during every practice activity.
The entire curriculum—teaching, demos, hand-outs, and assessments—is 100 % English. Both lead trainers speak German as well, so you can clarify complex points in German if needed.
Deep-dive, fully immersive learning—grounded in peer-reviewed coaching research and taught 100 % face-to-face—gives you far more than theoretical insight. For 18 intensive days you’ll practise every tool live, receive real-time feedback from two senior trainers, and iterate until the techniques feel instinctive. By the time you walk out with your DVNLP certificate, you’ll already have run multiple supervised client sessions, refined your personal coaching style, and built the confidence to create lasting change for real clients from day one.
Every new concept opens with a concise spotlight demonstration by Pascal or Stefan. You’ll watch an authentic coaching exchange—complete with the trainer’s live commentary on why each question, pause, or reframe is chosen. Seeing the technique applied to a real-world issue makes the underlying principles crystal-clear and immediately memorable. We finish each demo with a quick “meta-debrief,” mapping every move back to the DVNLP competency framework, so you can replicate it with confidence.
Theory turns into skill only through repetition, so after each demo you dive straight into coach–client–observer triads. Rotating roles every round gives you three distinct lenses: the coach’s strategy, the client’s felt experience, and the observer’s objective view of language and physiology. A guided feedback sheet helps you capture what worked, what stalled, and which subtle cues shifted the client’s state—turning every 15-minute drill into a compact masterclass.
Several times per day the room converts into a mini coaching clinic: you run full 45-minute sessions while both senior trainers circulate quietly, watch for patterns, and offer in-ear micro-coaching to sharpen your timing, rapport, or questioning sequence on the spot. Written snapshot feedback plus a two-minute verbal recap at the end of each practicum means you finish every session with clear, actionable next steps—no vague “good job, keep going.”
Skills stick when you process them actively. After each practicum we hold a brief but structured debrief: 3-minute self-reflection, 3-minute peer observations, and a facilitated plenary discussion that distills the collective lessons. You’ll capture key insights in a learning journal—prompted by questions on mindset, technique, and ethics—so improvements compound from day to day instead of fading overnight.
The curriculum blends core NLP models (Anchoring, Meta/Milton language patterns, Timeline work) with solution-focused coaching, values exploration, and emotional state management. Every tool is linked to the latest findings in behavioural psychology and neuroscience, ensuring you can back up your methods in corporate, clinical, or personal-development settings alike. By graduation you’ll have a flexible arsenal that adapts to any client profile—from career transition to peak-performance or wellbeing.
We cap each cohort at 20 participants and guarantee two certified trainers in every session—a rare 1 : 10 ratio. That means personalised observation of your micro-skills (voice tone, eye accessing cues, body alignment) and the space to ask detailed questions without slowing the group. The small-group dynamic also fosters a tight professional network; many alumni still exchange peer coaching and referrals years after finishing the course.
