NLP Coach



Overview of the NLP Coach Training according to ICI

The training as an NLP Coach according to the ICI (International Association of Coaching Institutes) provides you with the necessary skills and knowledge to be a successful coach. Coaching is the non-psycho-therapeutic counselling, support and encouragement of people in business, sports or private life.

After the NLP-Practitioner has already learned and integrated the basics of NLP for his own development process, the coaching training is now about applying the learned methods in concrete coaching contexts. The goal is to apply one's own NLP skills professionally and flexibly at the highest level.

  • Role and basic understanding of a coach
  • Consolidation of all NLP modules in theory and practice through application to the coaching context
  • Coach profile and marketing
  • Clearance of assignment and coaching contracts
  • Methods and tools in coaching
  • Systemic, team and conflict coaching

Participants are expected to be able to 40 hours of personal coaching experience in addition to the training. Some of these hours will be spent in a group supervision discussed during the training. In practice, many participants enrich their coaching work with three detailed case studies and proof of hours worked only after the training.

The participants who would like to become NLP teaching coaches, please see the necessary Qualifications of the page "Criteria for the appointment as NLP Teaching Coach".

Further information about the NLP Coach Training

The NLP Coach Training is a professional training to become a coach. The participants receive the necessary tools to be able to carry out successful individual, pair or team coaching sessions themselves.

The prerequisite for participation in the NLP Coach Training is a completed Practitioner Training. In the NLP Coach Training the view is directed beyond the horizon. An NLP coach is expected to have also dealt with neighbouring disciplines. Possible subject areas for the NLP Coach Training are therefore: provocative coaching, transactional analysis, Carl Rogers style of conversation, systemic and integral approaches. Before, during and after your NLP Coach Training, the prospective coaches have the task of conducting and documenting forty coaching hours of their own. Three of these cases are then submitted in the coaching work together with a coaching profile and a coaching concept.

The NLP Coach training was created as a parallel training to the NLP Trainer training. Originally there was only the trainer training, but the strong demand for trained coaches led to the fact that the different associations reacted and created a curriculum for a coach training as well.
