Outdoor Learning and Coaching INLPTA Certified Diploma in NLP

For those who work in outdoor learning and coaching, including professional outdoor practitioners, field study officers, instructors, teachers, youth workers, development trainers, outdoor leaders, mountain instructors, and others involved in learning outdoors.

Is it for me? Yes, if you face any of the following challenges working in the outdoors;

• Certain group members who disrupt or challenge the learning process
• Difficulties ensuring the outdoor experience translates into permanent and  lasting learning or change
• A lack of engagement or motivation within groups or individuals in groups
• Not always feeling confident in your own skills and knowing how best to approach a situation
• A lack of formal recognition for your skills and experience or lack of a recognised certification demonstrating your abilities and knowledge.

NLP is a powerful methodology for modelling excellence and communicating more effectively (with ourselves and others). Simply put, NLP is a user manual for your brain (and the brains of others). It integrates thought and the nervous system (Neuro), communication and the power of language (Linguistic) and the unconscious habits and patterns we run on (Programming).
