You've built something real. And still wonder.

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. And yes, we believe NLP works. Robert Dilts - one of NLP's original developers, and the person who personally trained both Andreas and Najwa - put it well during one of our own trainings: if something already works for you, you don't need to NLP it - if it doesn't, you need NLP.

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.

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.

No. NLP isn't regulated by any government, and no single body governs it. Several independent associations each set their own standard for what a certified Practitioner should know and be able to do, and following those standards is voluntary. So two certificates with the same title can stand for very different things. Beyond the certificate name, four questions are worth asking any provider: which body certifies the training, is the trainer certified to teach at that level, how is your competence actually assessed, and what tools and techniques will you actually learn? With us: you're certified through the American Board of NLP (ABNLP) and the Time Line Therapy® Association, both boards Andreas is personally certified through. Najwa is a Certified NLP Trainer of NLP University, so our training also draws in material and exercises from that lineage to deepen your learning beyond the required curriculum. You're taught by two Certified Trainers of NLP, and assessed through live, observed sessions on Day 8.

Mostly because of how the hours are counted. The ABNLP standard for Practitioner certification is a minimum of 120 hours of training, and providers reach that figure in different ways. Some count home study (audio, video, reading, open-book tests) completed before the course, which lets the live part run six or seven days. Others deliver most or all of the hours live. Some add extra certificates within the same days; others keep the scope narrow. The title "Certified NLP Practitioner" alone won't tell you which. We chose ten full live days for two certifications, because NLP is learned by doing - the time goes into repeated practice with live feedback, so you leave able to actually use it, not just describe it.

Certified NLP trainings differ in how they are structured and delivered, so the question is a fair one. Four things are worth asking any provider: how many days you spend in the room, how much of that time you practise with live feedback, how your competence is assessed, and who is training you. And the one people forget to ask: what happens after certification?

That last question is the only one that matters in the end, because an NLP course isn't tested on Day 10. It's tested a year later, on an ordinary day, when the situation you learned this for finally shows up.

Here's what the time around the course looks like with us. Before you even commit, you get the opportunity to talk with us, face-to-face or online. The moment you register and make payment, you're added to NLP Practitioner Preparation, our online course with modules, recordings, ebooks, videos and research articles on NLP and the mind, plus a goal-setting sheet and a preparation assignment, so Day 1 doesn't start from zero. During the ten days, there's a further assignment built specifically to deepen your grasp of language patterns. It is deliberate practice. What comes after certification has its own answer, just below.

The relationship continues after Day 10. You join our active WhatsApp and Facebook alumni groups, with occasional alumni meetups, and you can reach out to us directly whenever something comes up. Refresher days are free for life: come back for the whole programme, one complete module, or a single day, as a participant or a coaching assistant. The only cost to you is your own breakfast. We simply like seeing you again.

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.

Because these two certifications are built to hold up under real pressure. The extra time goes into three specific things: real depth on Time Line Therapy® across Days 9 and 10; 3-4 exercises per module throughout the training, so a skill gets repeated until it's yours; and a full supervised demonstration day (Day 8) before you're certified. You can still go on to complete NLP Coach Practitioner, Certified Hypnosis, or Certified LAB Profile® training afterward - included in our Advanced Coaching Package, each offered with the same depth.

We've been doing this since 2005. We watched NLP grow in Malaysia. We know what it takes - because we helped build it. 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.

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.

Yes, at irregular intervals. It requires certification as an NLP Practitioner, Time Line Therapy® Practitioner, and NLP Coach Practitioner first. Our Master Classes combine two boards - the ABNLP and NLP University - so you get the best of both. How we actually run the Master Classes is best explained in a personal conversation with us.

Yes - HRD Corp accredited (claimable subject to approval), and every trainer is certified through ABNLP, the American Board of NLP.

Both - coaches and trainers attend, so do directors, managers, and entrepreneurs using these tools in their own leadership.

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.

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.

No. If a technique needs longer to land, it gets longer - an exercise never gets cut short to keep the day on time, and it never runs as a scaled-down version of itself. Some exercises run three to four hours on their own - long enough for the change to actually happen, not just be walked through. And they're not static either: twenty years of running these exercises, watching what lands and what doesn't, has gone back into refining every one of them.

Through live, observed sessions on Day 8. You leave having proven you can do the work.

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.
