NLP Practitioner Training at IAP is beneficial not only for personal growth but provides you with a detailed toolset to help others through practical workshops and online training. The trainers are very experienced and helpful throughout your learning journey. I highly recommend IAP NLP training.

The Institute of Applied Psychology is an absolute life changer. The NLP training is jam packed with what I like to call "Santa Claus" moments, when you suddenly "get" something that busts you out of an old pattern, and you can't go back. Gordon's training style is brilliant - he is expert, positive, collaborative and practical and brings the group along with a mixture of amazing content, demonstrations and direct experience. If you are reading this review, you must be considering it - find a way to get yourself there! UPDATE: I am now studying the Diploma of Counselling with IAP. Absolutely amazing. Wonderful content, expertly delivered.

I have completed the Diploma of Clinical Hypnosis and Strategic Psychotherapy via IAP. I have also just completed the NLP Practitioner. Gordon Young delivers content so well. I chose to study with Gordon as he came recommended, and now I know why. I look forward to now enrolling in the NLP Master Practitioner.

Before Gordon's NLP Practitioner program at IAP, I saw the world through a limited lens. Now, thanks to his expert guidance, I have a gardener's perspective – a deeper understanding of how to cultivate positive change. As a Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) practitioner, I can help others tend to their own "gardens," addressing challenges like procrastination, anxiety, and addiction with the precision and care of a master gardener. This program has not only equipped me with valuable professional skills but has also transformed my personal outlook, enriching my relationships and overall well-being.
Thank you Gordon! 😊

The NLP Practitioner course was fantastic. The content was what I was looking for, and the opportunities to put theory into practice were many. The trainer is clearly incredibly passionate and knowledgeable about NLP. I also appreciated working with different people in the breakout rooms each time! This course has been impactful and I would recommend it to others.

Recently I completed the NLP Practitioners certification with Gordon Young at the Institute of Applied Psychology (IAP), and it was an incredible experience! The course provided practical tools that I can apply in both my personal and professional life. Gordon's teaching style is exceptional, he made complex concepts easy to understand with wonderful storytelling skills, easily contextualising material.
I highly recommend this course to anyone looking for personal/ professional development and to enhance their communication skills. Thank you, Gordon and IAP, for a transformative experience. “Wax on, wax off” 😊

Life changing skills and hacks. Glad I was part of this course with IAP and would recommend it to everyone who wants to improve in personal development, coaching, therapy, communication and influence. Gordon made it a wonderful, safe space for exploring concepts, trying out demos within groups and tailored NLP lessons for us. I'm looking forward to other courses with IAP.
