NLP gives you insight into the patterns behind communication and behaviour. This introduction offers practical tools to communicate more effectively, clarify your goals and get the best out of yourself. A valuable step in your personal development.
In this introductory course in Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) you become acquainted with a personal development method that helps you make better use of your abilities. NLP assumes that the successful behaviour of others can be understood and learned. The method focuses on the patterns behind human communication and behaviour, and offers tools to change those patterns or learn new ones.
You gain insight into your own model of the world and examine how your view of the world influences your behaviour and communication. You work on building rapport, enabling you to communicate more effectively and build stronger relationships with the people around you. You also work on formulating and achieving goals and explore techniques such as anchoring, learning how your brain responds to signals and how you can steer that.
The course alternates between experiencing, experimenting, reflecting and exploring theory. You get actively involved, so that you immediately notice the effect of new behaviour and can translate it to your own practice.
After this introductory course you will understand the basic principles of NLP and be able to apply the basic techniques in your everyday communication. You will have insight into your own model of the world and recognise how it influences your behaviour and interactions.
You know how to build rapport with the people around you and can tailor your communication to the person you are speaking with. You are also able to formulate clear, achievable goals and determine which steps are needed to reach them. You have practised anchoring and know how to call up desired feelings and behaviours at the moment you need them.
With this in hand you stand more firmly on your feet, communicate more effectively and have practical tools to develop yourself further, both personally and at work.
This introductory course is intended for anyone who is interested in NLP and wants to develop further in the areas of communication, behaviour and personal growth. Whether you work in education, business, healthcare or coaching: you will gain practical tools that you can put to use straight away.
During the course we alternate between concrete experience, experimenting with behaviour and techniques, reflecting and exploring theory. This makes the programme suitable for all types of participants. There is plenty of action in the course, so that you genuinely experience the effect of new behaviour. This makes it possible to recognise success. We also emphasise that everyone is responsible for their own development and must take ownership of it. In our course we invite you to reflect continuously and make connections with your own practice. Our aim is to increase your insight and let you make the translation to your own situation. This increases the chance of real behavioural change.
No prior knowledge is required for this course, so there is nothing you need to prepare. It does help if you are open to self-reflection and willing to experiment with new behaviour. A curious attitude is all you need to bring.
Would you like to organise this training for a whole group or several groups? This can be cost-effective. For example, we can tailor the content entirely to your organisation, and training a whole group is also cheaper.
Are you looking at large numbers of participants or a complete academy? That involves a great deal. Consider planning and communication, for example, or identifying and agreeing the objectives and content of the training. Or differences in level, feedback mechanisms and safeguarding. Fortunately, Learnit has extensive experience in this field (more than 25 years) and we are happy to help you through this process.
The training is given in Dutch as standard. The trainer has a good command of English. English-language course material can be used. With a minimum enrolment of 3 participants, the training can also be given entirely in English.
When would you like to start?
At Learnit you will always find a course that takes you further. From (technical) IT skills to communication or personal leadership. You can also choose the training format that suits you best: a classroom course, a tailor-made course at your own office, an online course or an e-learning. We have the right course and the right format for everyone. Because learning in the way that suits you best delivers the best results.
Personal attention and a pleasant atmosphere. Whether you take a course with us, at your office or on your own PC, we make sure you feel at home enough to push your boundaries.
New opportunities arise when you get moving. Stay sharp. Keep taking new steps. We encourage you to take the plunge and really go for it.
Discover something new. Build on your strengths. And choose your own path. We help you grow with training courses and learning formats that genuinely suit you.
We always think in terms of possibilities and win-win. And every day we work on new solutions for tomorrow. By offering training courses that leave you well prepared for the future.
We don't make empty promises. What we do offer is quality, knowledge and experience. A broad range of courses, made possible by our inspired staff and trainers.
We listen to what matters to you. To what you need. Because that is where our solution, our tailored approach, begins. Understanding each other properly and communicating clearly: that is what we believe in.
Taking a training course at Learnit means learning together. Together with your experienced trainer, together with your course group or together with your colleagues. And whether you take the training at home, at your office or at one of our training locations, we are always available to help you. To share our knowledge with you in a way that is genuinely useful to you. Getting further together through personal attention and understanding each other well; that is what we believe in.
Learning theory from a book that you can then hardly use in your work? Not at Learnit! Whichever training you take with us, you can put it to use at your workplace straight away. Because of the unique learning objectives you set together with the trainer at the start of the training. Because of the alternation between theory and (interactive) practical assignments. And by bringing the challenges you face in your daily work along to the training.

What others say about this course
Neurolinguistic programming (NLP): an introduction course reviews - Average rating 8.3 out of 20 reviews
“Until the course, NLP was more or less gibberish to me. What I could actually do with it was not clear. Learnit's course gave me a clear picture of what I could do with the subject. Not only in my profession as a communications adviser, but above all in working out my vision of the future. With NLP, listening to your feelings takes on a concrete meaning!”
C. van Burg, Gemeente Cromstrijen- Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP): an introduction
“After the course I came away with a good deal more self-insight.”
J. van Lawick, DZB Leiden- Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP): an introduction
“The training course gave me a great deal of insight into my perception and the perception of others. It is intense when it comes to why you do something and how that came about, but it helps you to communicate and listen differently in everyday life.”
Juliane Nembach, Rabobank Zuid-Holland Midden- Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP): An Introduction
“The course was tailored to my requirements, as agreed. The trainer was very pleasant to deal with and very flexible.”
J. Grijzen, AFAS Software B.V.- Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP): an introduction
“The content (and pace) was excellent and tailored to the points raised during the intake, and entirely geared to the participants' needs.”
M. van Duin, Rabobank- Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP): an Introduction
“A truly special course and you learn so much! You do have to be open to it.”
S. Ramkisoen, T-Mobile - Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP): an introduction
“The course was professional and interesting.”
J.C.M. Geraedts, Provincie Limburg- Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP): an introduction
“If this course appeals to you and you are willing to make yourself vulnerable, you can learn a great deal that will benefit you in your work and your personal life. It is remarkable to look at people's behaviour and communication in this way and to gain insight into how you can achieve your own learning objectives.”
G. Slot, Kadaster- Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP): an introduction
"In short: After the course I had more insight into myself. I learned that ingrained patterns can be broken. I also learned to recognise other people's motivations and how to respond and act on them in order to exert influence. All in all an excellent course that has made me see that you are responsible for your own learning process."
A. Smit, Unisys Payment Services & Solutions- Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP): an introduction
“My impression of the course is that it is instructive. It brings you back to yourself for a moment. In the end, everything comes from within you, including the changes you would like to make. My slogan has always been: "I know it all, but actually doing it..". During the course you become aware again of everything you do and how you do it. That is good! I actually find the two-day basic course too short. As far as I am concerned, it could well be four days.”
J. Groenhof, Dienst Uitvoering Onderwijs - Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP): an introduction
“Interesting course that is easy to apply. The ideas behind NLP were explained clearly. The exercises immediately give you something to get started with in practice yourself.”
L. van Essen, Gemeente Teylingen- Neurolinguistic programming (NLP): an introduction
“The good thing about this course is that you can apply the theory offered straight away in practice, through examples and exercises. This way you make the material your own and become familiar with it.”
P. van der Kooij-Nota, Rabobank Zuid-Holland Midden- Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP): an Introduction
"Excellent course, a good mix of personal situations, practical exercises and theory. Plenty of interaction, but that is also necessary in this course. The trainer is experienced and handles the various approaches to problems well. Even when things get emotional. He stays calm and explains clearly what the purpose of an exercise and the material is."
M. Thannhauser, Wetterskip Fryslân- Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP): an Introduction
“I was surprised by the practical side of the course. The second day in particular was full of exercises that you can also apply yourself after the course. Very valuable and inspiring.”
I. Bouwman - Vattenfall N.V. - Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP): an introduction

G. Stoopendaal, Gemeente Cromstrijen - Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP): an introduction
“The trainer is enormously enthusiastic. She looks for openings from my life to give examples and, above all, lets me/us search for ourselves. It was very motivating for me and I'm certainly not finished with NLP yet!”
R. Snikkers, Verzinkerij Meerveldhoven - Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP): an introduction
“A very instructive course that I found extremely useful. I was given plenty of practical tools that I can certainly put to good use. For me it was truly tailor-made and a real eye-opener.”
