NLP Practitioner with Neuroscience - with Ian McDermott

Module 2: Understanding the Structure of Human Experience - Learning some of the most important and impactful ones and improving your performance and relationships.

10th - 11th October 2025

The NLP Practitioner Programme with Neuroscience will equip you to become an effective NLP Practitioner, guiding and inspiring others to make real and lasting life changes.

By combining the power of NLP with the rigour of neuroscience, our internationally recognised instructors explain exactly what works, why it works and how to apply it in all areas of life.

 

What makes this NLP Practitioner course unique?

Our NLP Practitioner certification programme is unique in that it combines insights from the world of NLP with the amazing discoveries that neuroscience is continuing to reveal about our brains’ physical development and the various processes that occur within it. This presents powerful, compelling and practical content for both experienced practitioners looking to deepen their understanding and for those just starting their journey.

The NLP Practitioner Programme with Neuroscience is a 12-day NLP Practitioner course comprising six 2-day modules over 5 months. This structure allows you to take your learnings and use them in real world situations between each module. This applied learning approach helps you to assimilate the material and make huge strides as the programme progresses.

The programme is led by Ian McDermott, the practitioner and author who first brought NLP and Coaching together and then did the same for NLP and Neuroscience. Along with fellow course leader Professor Patricia Riddell, Ian has been at the forefront of applying pioneering work in the neurosciences to NLP – and bringing its practical benefits to people from all walks of life. Over the last 35 years, Ian has trained thousands of NLP Practitioners.

Module: NLP Practitioner with Neuroscience - with Ian McDermott

How you can get to the heart of what makes people tick

People are different! Understanding how you and they tick will make your life a whole lot easier. Ever been struck by how differently people come at things? They don’t just behave differently they actually think differently. For instance, some people are really good at making decisions, others not so much. What they do on the inside makes all the difference. Certain thinking strategies work better than others. Some people have developed these naturally but anyone can learn them at any age. These are the how-to’s that provide the ‘magic’ of NLP. They can also help us deal with challenging relationships. NLP has spent 40+ years exploring the strategies of success. We’ll be learning some of the most important and impactful ones and improving your performance and relationships by using them.

Some of the key content points from this module include:

  • How to recognise peoples’ different processing styles
  • How to read non-verbal signals
  • Techniques for removing barriers & creating new possibilities
  • The power of Association and Dissociation
  • New Behaviour Generator
  • Memory enhancement
  • The Neuroscience of Behaviour Change
