Delivered across four live broadcast modules, the diploma covers Strategic Psychotherapy, Modern Clinical Hypnosis, Gordian Therapy and the full evidence-informed framework Gordon Young has built over two decades of clinical practice.

The foundational entry point into IAP’s NLP pathway. Across seven days delivered over two modules, you’ll learn the language patterns, rapport-building techniques and behavioural modelling tools that underpin every coaching, therapy and leadership conversation. This certification is your gateway to our Master Practitioner, Professional Coaching and Hypnotherapy streams. Ideal for career-changers, coaches, leaders and helping professionals who want a practical, evidence-informed toolkit they can use the Monday after the course finishes.

NLP Master Practitioner

The advanced layer of IAP’s NLP pathway, designed for graduates of the NLP Practitioner certification ready to deepen their craft. Over eight intensive days you’ll work with advanced patterns including timeline work, values and beliefs change, modelling excellence, Meta-Programs and the more sophisticated reframing techniques used by top-tier coaches, therapists and communicators. This is the certification serious practitioners pursue when they want to move beyond competent into genuinely transformative. Prerequisite: IAP NLP Practitioner (or equivalent recognised certification).
