NLP at a Glance
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a practice-oriented method that helps people consciously control their communication, thinking, and behavior. NLP was developed in the 1970s by Richard Bandler and John Grinder in the USA. They studied how successful therapists and coaches worked – including Virginia Satir (family therapy), Milton Erickson (hypnotherapy) and Fritz Perls (Gestalt therapy) – and modeled their strategies to make them systematically learnable.
What does "Neuro-Linguistic Programming" mean?
- Neuro: Refers to the nervous system and the way we perceive, process, and store information.
- Linguistic: Emphasizes the importance of language – both spoken words and nonverbal communication – for our perception and behavior.
- Programming: Means that we can consciously recognize, change, and apply thought and behavior patterns, similar to a "program" in a computer.
Goals and Benefits of NLP
- Effective communication: Learning how to listen better, express oneself clearly, and build a trusting relationship.
- Personal change: Recognizing old thought patterns, resolving blocking beliefs, and establishing desired behaviors.
- Coaching Competence: Support clients in defining and successfully implementing goals.
- Flexibility: NLP techniques can be applied in coaching, consulting, leadership, therapy enhancement, or in private settings.
Important methods in NLP
- Reframing: Reframing negative experiences to enable new perspectives.
- Timeline work: Changing inner memories or future visions.
- Anchoring: Building resources and positive states on demand.
- Rapport: Establishing a trusting connection with other people.
Today, NLP is established worldwide and is used in coaching training, leadership training, consulting processes, and personal development programs. A solid NLP coach training not only imparts theoretical knowledge but primarily the practical application of these techniques. This way, you can purposefully use your skills to effectively accompany people, teams, or organizations.
Who is the NLP coach training suitable for?
The NLP Coach Training is aimed at everyone who wants to professionally accompany people or further develop their own communication and personality competence. It is suitable for both career starters and experienced professionals who want to systematically expand their skills.
1. Coaches and trainers
Whether you are already working as a coach or preparing for entry: With NLP, you learn effective tools to specifically support your coachees, accompany change processes, and successfully achieve personal and professional goals.
2. Executives and HR professionals
Executives particularly benefit from NLP to lead teams motivatingly, resolve conflicts, and establish appreciative communication. The techniques can also be used in human resources to optimize development discussions and coaching sessions.
3. Educators, consultants, and therapists
Teachers, lecturers, consultants, or alternative practitioners can use NLP to better accompany learning and change processes. The training imparts practical methods that facilitate working with groups and individuals and increase the effectiveness of the work.
4. People in change processes
NLP is not only interesting for professionals. Individuals who want to further develop their own personality, resolve blockages, or improve their communication, also benefit from a solid NLP coach training.
5. Anyone who wants to strengthen their communication and personality competence
The training provides tools that are applicable in both professional and private settings – in conversations, negotiations, or when building relationships.
Conclusion: The NLP coach training is versatile and opens pathways for professional coaching, career development and personal transformation.
Advantages over other coaching trainings
The NLP Coach Training is clearly different from many other coaching trainings due to its practice-oriented methodology and proven change techniques. Those who choose NLP benefit from several advantages:
1. Practical relevance instead of just theory
While many coaching trainings remain theoretical, NLP focuses on practical exercises and directly applicable methods. Participants learn to use the tools in real coaching situations – thus, the transfer to professional everyday life succeeds.
2. Effective change techniques
NLP offers proven methods to recognize, change thought and behavior patterns and activate resources. Tools like reframing, timeline work, or anchoring enable quick and sustainable results – in contrast to classical consulting approaches.
3. Focus on communication
A central difference is the emphasis on communication competence. NLP teaches how language, body language, and inner attitude interact to improve relationships and constructively resolve conflicts.
4. Flexibility and individuality
The training can be completed part-time, modular, online or in person and is therefore significantly more flexible than many rigid programs.
5. Personal Development
In addition to professional competence, NLP places great value on self-reflection and personal transformation. Participants learn not only to coach others but also to better understand themselves and unlock their own potential.
6. Broad Applicability
The methods learned can be applied in many fields – from coaching, consulting, and leadership to therapy enhancement and training.
Conclusion: The NLP Coach training combines practical learning, change techniques, and communication skills – a combination that clearly distinguishes it from traditional coaching programs.

Modular structure and process of the NLP training
The structure of the NLP Coach training at Landsiedel is modular, flexible, and practice-oriented. Participants can determine their learning path individually and adapt the training to professional or private needs.
The training is divided into foundation modules and special or application modules. The foundation modules convey all central competencies of NLP coaching – including coaching attitudes, communication, methodological competence, and change techniques.
The special modules deepen topics such as team coaching, conflict coaching, couple and family coaching, or mental interventions. Participants choose their modules themselves and thus shape their individual training profile.
Each module typically includes five days (approx. 32–35 hours) and can be booked individually. The order of the modules is flexible, allowing the training to be completed alongside work and at one's own pace.
Sustainable learning: Didactics & formats in the seminar
The didactics combine theory, practice-oriented workshops, role plays, and coaching simulations. Intensive feedback rounds and supervision promote reflection and personal development. Small groups enable direct exchange with trainers and other participants.
The training is offered in various formats including: in-person seminars for intensive learning on-site, online live courses for interactive participation from anywhere, hybrid models, block and weekend courses, as well as evening courses.
The modular structure ensures that participants receive an individually tailored, practice-oriented, and high-quality learning program that strengthens both professional and personal competencies.
Requirements for the certified NLP coach training
Participation in the NLP coach training at Landsiedel requires certain prior knowledge and prerequisites, especially if an official certification is sought. In principle, the training is aimed at individuals with NLP experience. For the DVNLP or ICI certification, a completed NLP Practitioner Training is usually required.
In addition to professional prerequisites, practical experience also plays a role. Participants should have already gained experience in coaching or consulting settings or work on documented coaching cases during the training. These practical components are included in the certification and ensure that the methods are applied safely and competently.
The minimum age for the issuance of certificates is 18 years. For further certificates such as "Master Coach, DVNLP," additional requirements are necessary – e.g., the completion of an NLP Master training. Those who participate without the practitioner prerequisite can still learn, but will only receive the certificate after proving the basics.
These prerequisites ensure that all participants start at a comparable level of knowledge and can effectively use the training for their personal and professional development.
Certification according to DVNLP & ICI
The NLP coach training at Landsiedel is geared towards the official DVNLP certification (German Association for Neurolinguistic Programming e.V.). This certificate is recognized in the German-speaking area and internationally and confirms that graduates meet the professional quality and ethical standards of NLP.
Participants complete the training as DVNLP NLP Coach with individual focuses determined by freely combinable foundation and special modules. Depending on personal interest, topics such as life coaching, business coaching, or communication psychology can be deepened.
Certain prerequisites are necessary for certification, including usually a NLP Practitioner Training as well as – depending on the training path – a NLP Master or corresponding coaching experience. During the training, documented coaching cases are collected, supervision feedback is integrated, and practical competence is demonstrated.
Additionally, Landsiedel offers the opportunity to obtain an international certificate from the ICI (International Association of Coaching Institutes). The ICI certificate expands the possibilities – especially for coaches who wish to work internationally.
Other associations in the NLP and coaching field include the IN (International Association of NLP Institutes), the IANLP and the European Coaching Association (ECA). For Landsiedel, DVNLP and ICI are the relevant certificates; the other organizations provide additional orientation but do not belong to the regular qualification.
The certificates offer not only formal recognition but also credibility, quality guidelines, and professional security – both for coaching, HR, organizational development, or other fields of activity.
Coach or trainer? Differences to NLP trainer training
An important difference between the NLP Coach Training and the NLP Trainer Training lies in the objectives and the application area of the competencies.
The Coach training is aimed at people who want to develop individual coaching competencies. The focus is on individual or group coaching and change work, goal achievement, and communication. Graduates learn to accompany people sustainably, to resolve blockages, and to activate resources.
Trainer training, on the other hand, prepares for the leading and teaching of groups. Here, the focus is on didactics, presentation, training planning, and moderation. NLP trainers convey knowledge, design learning processes, and lead groups professionally through seminars. While coaches work individually and accompany change processes, trainers act more in seminar and group formats.
The coach training can therefore be understood as a practical entry, while the trainer training builds on teaching and training work. Many graduates of the NLP coach training later choose the trainer training as
a continuation to expand their competencies to groups. Both complement each other ideally – coaching for individual support, training for knowledge transfer.
Flexible module design
The training is modular and allows participants to
freely combine basic and specialized modules. This creates an individually tailored learning program, which can be completed both alongside work and in intensive block or weekend courses.
The methods taught are not only explained theoretically, but applied directly in
workshops, role plays, case studies, and coaching simulations. Through continuous feedback from the trainers, participants can safely apply the techniques in everyday life.
We place great value on
personal support and small groups. This enables intensive exchange, individual feedback, and optimal support in implementing what has been learned.
Our NLP master trainers have
many years of experience in coaching and NLP. They accompany practically, share valuable experiences, and promote the development of the individual coach personality.
Whether in-person seminar, online live course, hybrid model, evening or block course – the training can be
optimally integrated into everyday life. Participants decide for themselves how they want to learn in terms of time and organization.
Karrierechancen nach NLP-Ausbildungen
Professional coaching activity
Graduates can work as professional coaches and accompany individuals or teams in personal and professional change processes. They support clients in defining goals, overcoming blockages and activating resources purposefully.
Deployment in companies and organizations
The methods learned are particularly suitable for companies, educational institutions, and consulting agencies. Leaders benefit as they can lead teams better, resolve conflicts, and promote employees effectively.
Self-employment and own practice
Participants can apply their coaching skills in their own practice or as self-employed coaches. Through modular specialization, clear focuses are possible – such as team coaching, conflict coaching, or mental work.
Personal development
In addition to professional perspectives, the training strengthens personality and communication skills. Participants learn to overcome inner blockages, increase motivation, and pursue their goals clearly.
International opportunities
Through the DVNLP certification and the optional international ICI recognition, professional opportunities abroad also open up.
Further training in the world of NLP
Our NLP offering includes not only coaching training but also further training. Many start with the NLP Practitioner, which conveys fundamental models, techniques, and attitudes. Building on this, the NLP Master Training deepens the knowledge and expands the application possibilities.
Those who dare to take the step to NLP Coach can subsequently transition to the NLP Trainer Training, which prepares for teaching NLP professionally and accompanying groups. Supplementary training – e.g., in hypnosis, systemic work, business NLP, mental strength, or resilience – expands the toolbox and promotes clear profile development.

Yes. Formats such as weekend, evening, and online courses allow for part-time learning. Many graduates choose Landsiedel for this reason.
