Course Details

Welcome to this leading-edge coaching course, from John Grinder, Carmen Bostic St Clair, and Michael Carroll featuring the latest work from John Grinder.

The course provides coaches with specialist dynamic coaching formats integrating Original  New Code NLP with Emergent New Code NLP to work with clients to bring lasting change to their lives.

This module builds on the Classic Code NLP formats taught by Michael in Part One (5 – 9 May) or experienced at previous NLP courses for those taking this module on a stand-alone basis. 

The basis of this course is NLP applied for coaching excellence and its foundation is John, Carmen, and Michael’s extensive experience in coaching and changework, and their esteemed reputation for bringing extraordinary results to their clients’ lives.

The Emergent New Code NLP patterning from John is a series of models developed from his most recent one-to-one coaching work with clients. These patterns are the most up-to-date work from John Grinder and will provide the attendees with a series of finely tuned tools for coaching with elegance and bringing extraordinary levels of change in their own lives and the lives of others.

The lead venue for the Training is in Lagos, Portugal, with satellite venues in Switzerland & India, where the exercises will be facilitated by a selected Grinder, Bostic, and Carroll Trainer. The satellite venue option is ideal for people who would like to study locally and receive the full certification. Additionally, there is an online option for those who would prefer to study at home, please note the certification is different for those studying at home.

There are two parts to the programme, Part One is Emergent New Code NLP Training delivered by John, Carmen, and Michael on 11 – 18 May 2025, leading to certification as New Code NLP Practitioner for Coaching Excellence.

Part Two occurs in the 12 weeks after the course, where the coach takes part in an online coaching assessment observed by an NLP Academy evaluator leading to certification as an International NLP Coach.

To attend, you will already be certified as an NLP Practitioner (or equivalent) or have attended the NLP Academy Core Skills course. Most attendees have a goal to embark on a coaching career or will already be working in the helping professions and want to incorporate New Code NLP and the dynamic coaching framework that John, Carmen, and Michael have developed into their practices.

  • Part One: Emergent New Code NLP for Coaching Excellence


    11 – 18 May 2025
    2:00 pm – 8:00 pm (Portuguese Time)
    with John Grinder, Carmen Bostic, and Michael Carroll


    New Code NLP underpins this course incorporating models which provide rapid and lasting change in clients. In this Module, you will be immersing yourself in some of the most effective change processes for personal evolution available.

    NLP was the original coaching model providing Change Agents with tools for directing clients’ attention to more resourceful choices for them. NLP rapidly grew as a system for enabling anyone to have more choices in life. Coaching is about creating choices in contexts where they were once lacking. In this course, you will learn tools to help yourself and your clients experience more choices in life.

    New Code NLP emerged in NLP in the post-Grinder / Bandler years, developed by Grinder and Bostic to provide a radical framework for a more efficient form of NLP. New Code NLP utilises optimised states in the change process and formats to ensure personal congruency in clients to leverage deep and lasting change in accordance with their target.

    A unique element to the International Coaching Certification is the specialist coaching models you will learn from John, Carmen, and Michael, who have developed these processes from their extensive experience in their own coaching practices. The Specialist Coaching Models integrate Classic and New Code NLP patterning and will give you a structure for coaching your clients that is different from anything out there in the coaching world.

    New Code NLP is constantly developing and you are assured of the latest coaching models. In recent years, John Grinder has developed new coaching models, known as Emergent New Code NLP, which he will be sharing in this course.

    The in-course evaluation day takes place on the 18th May 2025, where participants will participate in a series of practical exercises to demonstrate their skill and competency on what was covered during the course.
