NLP training with the global leader. Join over 2.5K+ students who went from novice to NLP Practitioner, NLP Master Practitioner, Mindset & Emotional Intelligence Coach in 7 or 16 days.
Our international Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) training courses blend soul, science, and setting, and are led by NLP Master Trainer Nicole Schneider.
Some students come to work through something personal. Others come for professional development, often in management or leadership, bringing NLP back into a corporate role. Others are training to become a coach, some brand new to the profession, others already established and looking to bring NLP into work they’re already doing. And some are building toward speaking, training, or another career in personal development. Different reasons, same room.
Global NLP Training is fully accredited by IBNIC, the International Board of NLP and Integrative Coaching, and approved by the ICF for Continuing Coach Education credits.
Every session, in every location, is taught personally by Nicole Schneider, NLP Master Trainer, not a rotating cast of instructors.
Each NLP training is fully immersive, with small class sizes held in inspiring locations around the world.
From retreat destinations to urban hubs, our courses take place in private, human-centered spaces with a living room feel. These are places where people can exhale, open up, and truly learn.
We go deeper than most programs dare to, and we do it without stretching your budget. We offer live, online, and hybrid NLP training.
What if you could understand the patterns behind your thoughts, emotions, and behavior, and learn how to shift them? Then help others do the same.
NLP is a practical toolkit for meaningful change and communication. It is grounded in human connection and the psychology of what actually works. While traditional psychology often focuses on dysfunction or the statistical average, NLP studies those who consistently perform at the highest level.
That is why people join our NLP training. To transform how they think, communicate, and create change in their lives, their work, and the people they serve.
Seven days. The entire foundation of NLP: how communication actually works, and the techniques to change how people think, feel, and act. You'll learn to read a room like you've got an extra sense, master your own state so nothing throws you off, and use both to lead, influence, and genuinely help the people in it. Real people, not theory in a binder.
Same group, same trust, twice the depth. Fifteen days, fully immersed, away from your everyday life, one continuous immersion, not two courses stapled together, and a real saving over booking them apart. Week one puts you through something real, and week two goes further because of it. You leave able to lead a room, coach the most challenging clients, and build your own techniques, the full range in one trip. For people who want to go all-in and come out different, in skill and in who they are.
This is where the foundation every school teaches gets left behind. Small group, one Master Trainer, and work that goes deep: core change techniques that reach identity-level issues, the childhood triggers still running your nervous system, the survival patterns you built without knowing it. You'll sharpen your own emotional intelligence and someone else's, and leave able to build your own techniques for whatever problem walks in the door, not run someone else's script.
Practitioner and Master Practitioner together, at our early booking rate, cost less than most schools charge for Practitioner alone.

Most students do the Practitioner and Master Practitioner back to back, and the reason isn't convenience, it's timing. The version of you who has the time, the momentum, and the trust already built in week one is not guaranteed to still be free in six months. "I'll do the Master Practitioner later" is how a lot of people end up never doing it at all.
Look at the full picture, not just the course fee. A single training booked at home, in London, New York, or wherever you live, still means the fee, the venue, the time off, all with nothing to show for it afterward except the certificate. When people actually run the numbers on doing both here, at our early booking rate, flights and a room included, in Mexico, Portugal, or Bali, the total often surprises them. You may as well spend it somewhere that changes how you feel about the whole experience, not just where you sat.
The trust a group builds in the first week is what makes the second week's deeper work actually land. Doing both together, in one continuous immersion, isn't just cheaper, it's a better way to learn.
Global NLP Training is accredited by IBNIC, the International Board of NLP and Integrative Coaching, and approved by the ICF for Continuing Coach Education, 40 hours in total, 23 Core Competency and 17 Resource Development. This is a rare approval in the NLP field, and those hours count directly toward your ACC, PCC, or MCC renewal or initial application. Full details on the ICF CCE page →
Accreditation isn’t just claimed, it’s audited: IBNIC reviews its schools every 5 years against measurable standards, not just paperwork: ethics, consumer safety, and the actual quality of our training and our trainer.

Soul is our starting point. Teaching is not just what we do. It is who we are. That is why Nicole Schneider, NLP Master Trainer, personally leads every course in small, immersive groups. Every student works directly with her, including full demonstrations of each technique.
But soul without substance is just fluff. It is like saying "I just want to help people" in a job interview, without twenty years of mastery to back it up.
We teach techniques that can only be delivered with this level of skill, and in a space designed to hold real transformation.
Science keeps our NLP training real, accountable, and yes, actually fun.
NLP was already light years ahead of a field still focused almost entirely on mental illness and negative emotion, rather than mental health and positive emotions. We teach every technique, but we filter it through a modern, science informed lens. That gives NLP clarity, direction, and real impact.
Understanding the science isn't optional. It's what lets you walk into a boardroom, a coaching session, or a difficult conversation and say "research shows" instead of hoping a technique just works. That's the difference between sounding credible and sounding like you read a self-help book once, or got it from a digital nomad on social media with a ring light and zero credentials.
Most trainers mention science as a side note. Some dismiss it altogether. We do the opposite. We teach it.

If traditional psychology is about pulling weeds until the garden is bare, positive psychology is about building the garden. Before 1998, psychological research was overwhelmingly focused on negative emotion and mental illness. The problem? It's light on real-world tools. NLP offers those tools, but has often lacked the science. We bring both.
Emotional intelligence is another game-changer. But like positive psychology, it's often missing the "how." We teach our NLP training through the lens of emotional intelligence, so students don't just understand EQ, they know how to build it.
We teach personality speedreading using NLP meta-programs and personality-type frameworks. This gives our students the ability to quickly understand how people tick, and how to adjust their communication and coaching style accordingly. It makes NLP more precise. Coaching is more tailored. It increases your self-awareness and self-understanding.
When NLP was created, the fMRI didn't even exist, and neuroscience was still a teenager with big potential. Today, we have decades of brain science that helps explain why NLP works. That's not something we ignore, we teach it. We connect what happens in the brain with what happens in the room. Because when you understand the why behind the change, you can lead it better, and it sticks.
We understand that guided visualization, when done well, is one of the most powerful tools for change. We teach how to create guided meditations with real structure: the kind that primes the brain for success, reduces negative emotions, increases positive ones, and creates lasting shifts. This work can help resolve trauma, fears, phobias, and anxiety. It can rewire limiting beliefs, change thoughts and behaviors, and build emotional resilience. Most people treat visualization just as a mindful and relaxing exercise. We treat it as something you can design, with purpose, precision, and impact.
Behavioral science and NLP share a core idea: change one part of the thought-feeling-action loop, and the others shift too. Cognitive behavioral therapy proved this over months in a clinical setting. NLP compresses the same principle into something you can use in the room, interrupting a pattern the moment it's happening, not weeks later.
36% of our students come through referral.
90% join because they want to train with Nicole specifically.
(Which either means our students are very polite, or we’ve got something really good going here.)

(Lol, that's cute. They made it themselves.)
Setting matters. It does more than make the NLP training experience memorable. It shapes how deeply you learn, and it shows every time. That is why we train in villas, beachside condos, art galleries, entrepreneurial hubs, and yes, even a yacht. Every space is human-centered and designed for depth.
Here is the twist. NLP training in places like Bali, Portugal or Mexico often costs less than staying closer to home, especially if you book early.
No beige ballrooms in corporate hotels. No windowless rooms in the least human part of town. Just inspiring spaces where real transformation can actually happen.

What Does an NLP Coach Do & What Does a Session Look like?
We're registered in the CRKBO, the Netherlands' Central Registry for Vocational Education, a government registration that doesn't exist outside the Netherlands, which is part of why very few NLP schools worldwide can claim it. Because of this registration, we don't charge VAT or BTW tax, and our classes are tax-deductible in many locations. We recommend confirming with your own bookkeeper or accountant.
In the broader world of NLP, there are 4 recognized levels: Practitioner, Master Practitioner, Trainer, and Master Trainer.
At Global NLP Training, we currently offer NLP Practitioner and NLP Master Practitioner. After Master Practitioner, students can continue on to become an NLP Trainer, NLP Integration Specialist or an NLP Application Specialist.
Our NLP training comes with the most extensive post-course support, contact our office or check each programs page.
It is very common for our students to need to attend important meetings, events, or auditions. Within reason, we can accommodate, though we may assign homework or request a student to arrange for a volunteer student in class to help them.
Yes. Live training is our core offering, delivered in person, with full certification, no special designation attached.
Online training leads to a certificate of completion rather than a certificate of skill, and is always labeled "online" to keep that distinction clear. Online Practitioner training doesn't lead directly into live Master Practitioner training, and the online track doesn't lead to NLP Trainer certification. Students who've completed online Practitioner or Master Practitioner do receive a reduced rate on our regular live tuition anywhere in the world, so you're never paying full price twice for the same material.
If you need to miss part of a live training, we offer a hybrid pathway. Because our live programs already run more hours than accreditation bodies require, we have real flexibility to work with you one-on-one or fill gaps using our online material, while still meeting every accreditation standard in full.

No, we specialize in teaching international groups. Our NLP training is attended by people from all over the world. Many of our students do not have English as a first language, and neither do our trainers. Our most senior trainer has credentials in teaching English as a second language, intercultural communication, and the cultural dimensions of Hofstede.
Yes. Every Global NLP Training program is taught in English, in person, wherever you live, whether that's Spain, Poland, or somewhere else where training in your own language simply isn't offered. You don't need to be fluent going in. Most students arrive with working English and leave with more than they expected, in the language and in themselves.
Our tuition differs from location to location and the type of NLP training program you choose. Contact us for a world-wide overview.
