You've built something real. And still wonder.
Not broken, not stuck - just aware that the ceiling you've hit might not be the one you actually have.
Not everyone. Possibly you.
- Directors and senior professionals who've built something real, and still wonder if there's more
- Business owners tired of saying the same thing ten times, and still not being heard
- Managers and team leads who've outgrown technical skill alone, and are ready to lead people, not just oversee them
- Anyone who needs to give hard feedback, repair broken trust, or say no to someone who won't take no for an answer, without the fallout they're used to
- Coaches, trainers, and HR professionals who want tools that hold up under real pressure, not just in theory
- Anyone who's read the books and done the seminars, and is ready for something that happens in the body, not just in their head
Not sure you check every box? Reach out and let's talk - that's a better way to find out than any list.
Three modules. Ten live days.
A structure refined over 20 years, not a schedule of convenience. Every module builds on the last, with deliberate space between them - change needs time to integrate, not just time to learn. Dates vary by workshop - see current schedule below.
Linguistics
Rapport, hypnotic language patterns, reframing, and the structure hidden inside every sentence.
Beliefs & Identity
The Laws of the Mind, releasing limiting beliefs, and the foundations beneath every result.
Emotional Mastery
Anchoring, releasing old emotional weight, and accessing peak states on demand.
Behavioural Change
Submodalities, new-behaviour installation, and your certification demonstration day.
Certified NLP Practitioner
Certified by the American Board of NLP (ABNLP).
Time Line Therapy® Practitioner
Included free upon successful completion of the Practitioner training.
Ten full days. Nothing condensed.
Long hours are deliberate - this is where the depth comes from. Every day is built around a theme, with multiple exercises per session. Participants don't just observe techniques - they practise them, get live feedback, and refine before moving on. Each day starts at 9:00am and ends when the exercise is complete, not by the clock - most often around 7:30pm, sometimes later, rarely earlier.
Breakfast starts at 8:30am, together.
Trainers and participants, at a mamak nearby. It's not part of the curriculum, and it's not compulsory. But it's often where the real conversations happen - personal questions get asked, nerves settle, and the group starts feeling like people you know rather than strangers in a room. Breakfast is on us. Training itself starts sharp at 9am.
Most people already know what they want. They just don't do it. Day one shows you why: how your unconscious mind quietly runs the show, and where it's been working against you without your noticing. You'll come to understand the true power of your conscious and unconscious mind, and how they work together, in a way you've likely never seen before.
Using the NLP Communication Model and real goal-setting mechanics, you leave with a working map of your own mind, and the tools to start shifting it immediately.
Most people read a situation, and the people in it, on instinct and guesswork. You'll learn to read both with precision: the micro-expressions, the unconscious cues most people never consciously notice, and how to use language that actually resonates with someone else, not just with yourself.
Most miscommunication isn't really about words: it's about two people meaning different things without realising it. This is the day language and conversation stop being accidental. You'll learn to hear what's really being said beneath the words, and ask the kind of questions that shift someone's whole perspective in a single conversation. Whether you're a coach, a parent, or a leader, this is where using language consciously begins.
During this day, you deepen your understanding of NLP by applying its presuppositions, also called the Convenient Assumptions of NLP, to a real challenge in your own life, one you want genuine insight or an inner shift on.
Most people either push too hard or don't move anyone at all. You'll learn a gentler, more effective way: indirect, permissive influence through language and story. Combined with a set of power words and conversation frames, it creates the kind of influence that changes minds without anyone feeling handled. A foundation for real coaching, sales, and leadership.
Old patterns feel permanent, until you find the lever. You'll learn how the mind stores an experience, and how to change the way it feels, sometimes in minutes. This is also the day you learn to step fully into someone else's perspective, with a level of precision most people never develop.
By the end of the day, you know how to take charge of the inner workings of your mind, and can shift perceptions through a clearly defined process.
Confidence, motivation, calm, or energised: most people wait for these to show up on their own. You won't have to. You'll learn to access your best states on command, and finally have real tools for the stuck moments (procrastination, self-doubt) that used to just run their course.
Objections feel fixed, like facts, not stories. They're not. You'll learn to shift them, and apply that skill to real situations in your own life. NLP itself was built by modelling and understanding the inner strategies that drive people's behaviour.
By the end of this day, you'll see the hidden strategies already running someone's decisions and behaviour, often without them realising it themselves.
This is your NLP certification day. You're not tested from memory under pressure, and it isn't a written exam. It's an open-book demonstration: your notes are right there with you.
You'll complete this day knowing you have real, inner command of NLP, and realising how far you've already come, both in understanding yourself and others, and in making the inner changes you need to reach your goals.
For many participants, this is the single most meaningful day of the entire ten. You've heard us mention Time Line Therapy® before, and during the training itself, but only understood it conceptually until now. You've waited for it, and now you get to experience what it actually feels like to let go of anger, sadness, fear, hurt, and guilt.
By the end of the day, you feel light, refreshed, and free of baggage that has held you back for years. Some participants describe it as an emotional reset. How this day unfolds shapes how tomorrow begins.
The work that started on Day 9 continues here. Using Parts Integration, you resolve old inner conflicts - the quiet tug-of-war between different parts of yourself that have been pulling in different directions.
Your work with Time Line Therapy® expands too, now applied to limiting decisions many participants have carried for a long time, like "I'm not good enough," "I don't deserve this," or "I always mess it up." The day also introduces a process for working through excessive worry, and closes with your own goals built directly into how you see your future. Certificates are awarded, but by this point, they're simply confirming something you already know is true about yourself.

What makes this different.
Pioneered NLP in Malaysia. Since 2005.
We pioneered certified NLP Practitioner training in Malaysia - twenty years of refinement.
Two Methodologies, One Room
Najwa trained under NLP University (Robert Dilts). Andreas trained under ABNLP (Tad James).
Live, Hands-On Feedback
Every technique observed and refined live by a trainer with 9,000+ training hours.
Our Own Premises
Trained in our own space, not a rented hotel function room. A session ends when the exercise ends - no interruptions, no clock-watching, no room changeovers.
Why you should train with us.
Two Internationally Recognised Certificates
We're HRD Corp accredited, and the training is claimable by companies through HRDC, subject to approval at time of application.
3-4 Exercises Per Module
Repetition builds muscle memory - not a single pass through each technique.
Lifetime Free Refresher
Come back, retrain, and upgrade your skills at no extra cost (T&C apply).
Meet-Ups & Networking
An ongoing community of graduates to keep practising and building relationships with.
Continuously Updated Curriculum
Content and resources kept current as the field and the times change.
A Broad Philosophy
Grounded in ABNLP, NLP University, and other leading NLP lineages - not one narrow school of thought.
Direct Lineage
Najwa and Andreas trained directly with the creators and innovators of NLP - Tad James and Robert Dilts.
A Free Ebook, Yours to Keep
Depending on the programme, participants receive access to an ebook we've published - yours to keep after training ends.
Membership Site Access
NLP Practitioner graduates get added to our membership site upon payment - documents on NLP, plus hypnosis recordings, all in one place.
What training actually looks like.
What to look for in an NLP Practitioner training.
Not every certified NLP training is structured or delivered the same way. A few honest questions worth asking before you commit to any programme, ours included:
How many live training hours?
Some certifications compress live contact time into a handful of days. Ask exactly how many days you'll actually spend in the room.
How much do you actually practise?
Watching a technique demonstrated once is different from practising it yourself, repeatedly, with feedback.
How is competence assessed?
Ask whether certification is based on attendance, a written test, or a live, observed demonstration of the skill.
Who is training you?
Ask about your trainer's own training hours, lineage, and how long they've been actively teaching.
Which certification body?
Confirm the certifying body behind the credential, and whether it's recognised internationally.
What happens after you certify?
Ask what support, community, or refresher access continues once the training itself ends.
Not ready to commit yet?
Start with "Think. Communicate. Change." - a free Reader's Edition by Andreas Dorn and Najwa Dorn Rustum, and a good way to get to know how we think before you ever step into the room.
- Written by your actual trainers, not a generic guide
- A first look at how we think about change
- A good starting point before you ever step into the room
Answered honestly.
Other companies offer similar certification for less. What's the difference?
Fair question. This is 10 live days with two Certified NLP Trainers in the room, each also a Master Trainer in their own specialisation - LAB Profile®, Hypnotherapy, and Time Line Therapy® - drawn from two distinct NLP lineages, with live, hands-on feedback on every technique - a dual methodology unusual anywhere in Asia.
Does NLP actually work?
No one can promise it'll work for you specifically. What we can say: we follow up with graduates long after training ends, and we're happy to share what we hear when we talk.
Is this for coaches, or can someone in a corporate role attend?
Both - coaches and trainers attend, so do directors, managers, and entrepreneurs using these tools in their own leadership.
Is this training accredited?
Yes - HRD Corp accredited (claimable subject to approval), and every trainer is certified through ABNLP, the American Board of NLP.
What's the difference between NLP Practitioner and NLP Master Practitioner?
Practitioner builds the core toolkit - rapport, language patterns, anchoring, reframing, and Time Line Therapy®. Master Practitioner goes deeper into strategy design and modelling excellence. Most participants start at Practitioner level, which is what this ten-day programme certifies.
Am I qualified to work as a coach after this?
You're not certified as an NLP Coach through this programme specifically. In this training, you learn as if you become a coach - we teach you the tools through deep, real learning of NLP and Time Line Therapy®, rather than adding another certificate on top. You can absolutely use these tools to coach other people - that's how the training is set up. If you'd like to formally certify as a coach and market yourself as one, we offer that as an add-on.
How is certification demonstrated?
Through live, observed sessions on Day 8, not a written exam - you leave having proven you can actually do the work, not just describe it.
I'm worried my English isn't good enough for the training.
You're not alone in that worry - and it's almost always the belief, not the language, holding people back. Watch Janiss's story, who came in with that exact concern and went on to complete both NLP Practitioner and NLP Master Coach certification with us.
Why do you only offer two certifications in 10 days?
Because depth matters more to us than the number of certificates you walk away with. These 10 days are built to fully install NLP Practitioner and Time Line Therapy® Practitioner, not to rush you through four certifications shallowly. NLP Coach Practitioner, Certified Hypnosis, and Certified LAB Profile® are offered afterward as their own dedicated trainings, so each gets the same depth of attention.
Who are the trainers?
Andreas Dorn and Najwa Dorn Rustum, husband and wife, lead every training together, in the room, every day. Andreas trained directly under Dr. Tad James and Dr. Adriana James starting in 2005, and has continued deepening his own practice with Robert Dilts since 2024 - he's also one of only 16 Master Trainers of Words That Change Minds® (LAB Profile®) in the world. Najwa was certified as an NLP Trainer directly by Robert Dilts in 2010, and is also a Certified Hypnosis Trainer in her own right. Between them, they bring two distinct NLP lineages into the same room - part of why the training runs deeper than most. Full credentials for both are on our Meet Your Trainers page.
What should I do if I want to join the next NLP Practitioner programme?
Book a free chemistry session with us - a short call to make sure this is the right fit before you commit. From there, we'll confirm your seat for the next available cohort and send you everything you need to prepare.
Is NLP coaching?
Not exactly, though the two overlap a great deal. NLP is a set of tools and techniques for understanding and changing how the mind works. Coaching is a professional relationship built around helping someone reach a goal. Many coaches use NLP as part of their toolkit, and our own Practitioner training is deliberately structured as if you're becoming a coach, not just learning techniques for yourself.
Can I learn NLP from YouTube or AI?
You can learn about NLP from YouTube or AI - the concepts, the vocabulary, even demonstrations of techniques. What's much harder to get that way is the actual skill. NLP is fundamentally experiential: you learn to read a room by being in one, not by watching it done. Certification also requires demonstrated, in-person competence - nobody becomes a Certified Practitioner from video alone.
Who are the top NLP training providers in Malaysia?
We pioneered NLP training in Malaysia, running certified programmes since 2005. There are a number of good training providers in the country today, and that's a healthy thing for the industry. The right choice for you isn't really about a ranked list - it's about which company's trainers, teaching style, and programme structure actually fit what you're looking for.
