The Academy Welcoms You

The NLP Academy is the only UK NLP company that has invested in our students learning by creating our own custom built Training Centre of Excellence.

When you attend an NLP Academy course, you welcomed into our home, and treated as our guest. The difference is you will experience a far deeper and richer learning experience than if you took a course in a crammed and noisy hotel and other venues that most NLP companies use. NLP Academy founder Michael Carroll, says your development is far too important to offer you a second rate experience in a noisy, clumsy hotel, devoid of personality. Instead we seek to create an ideal learning environment in our centre. In addition, we have recruited the best NLP minds on the planet, to offer what I believe to be the finest NLP training available in this part of the world. The Academy is based in Croydon, Surrey, 20 minutes south of London by train, 30 minutes from the M25 and 40 minutes from Gatwick Airport.

Leading The Way

The NLP Academy since its inception quickly became a leader in the field. When the Academy moves others follow. The Academy was the first company to develop a true accelerated learning approach for NLP Training. To support our NLP Practitioner and Master Practitioner courses we developed the NLPedia Study Sets. The study sets are in full multi media format and enable our learners to transform their computers into a personal NLP learning centre and bring Michael Carroll’s trainings into their homes. While others have now followed this approach, none have quite reached the same standard in terms of depth and full multi media functionality.

The NLP Academy was also the first NLP Company to be licensed by Paul Scheele of Learning Strategies, to teach the fabulously successful accelerated learning and reading system PhotoReading. Again other NLP companies have followed suit, but Michael Carroll led the way, and teaches more people to PhotoRead in the UK than any other trainer.
