Use the power of language and perception to transform your communication and influence. Enhance your leadership, management, and workplace relationships.
If you’ve heard of NLP but never had a simple, no-nonsense way in, this course is your launchpad.
"Introduction to NLP: Neuro-Linguistic Programming" turns big ideas into usable tools you can apply the same day: at work, in conversations, and in your own self-management.
Across short, focused lessons, you’ll unpack how language, perception, and patterns shape our behaviour.
You’ll explore the core presuppositions of NLP, the logical levels of change, and the filters that colour how we interpret the world. Then you’ll learn hands-on skills: building genuine rapport, asking precision questions with the Meta Model, and setting well-formed outcomes that actually get done.
You’ll also meet the Milton Model, reframing, perceptual positions, and timeline thinking. All of these are approaches that help you see problems differently and unlock new options.
This is a practical, ethical introduction designed for curious professionals, coaches, leaders, and learners who want better conversations, clearer goals, and smarter strategies for change. No hype, no mystical claims—just structured frameworks, memorable examples, and simple exercises.
You’ll learn to:
By the end, you’ll recognise unhelpful patterns faster, communicate with more precision, and design changes that stick. If you want a practical toolkit for thinking, influencing, and getting results, this course gives you the essentials—clearly explained and ready to use.

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.
Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
