Hi All

As promised, here's my review of the free course that I did on December 1st and 2nd in London, presented by John Cassidy-Rice.
To save me having to explain the 'deal', here's a link to the website NLP Excellence Training Diploma Certification

So...was it free? Yes it was. I arrived on the first day for registration at 9am, with the course commencing at 9-30am. Coffee and biscuits were provided, as was a course manual / workbook (and a pen).

Although I have never been on an NLP course before, I 'have' been on sales and other such courses. This course was easily the most enjoyable, and informative. John Cassidy-Rice is an entertaining presenter and he obviously has a wealth of knowledge.

The format was: topic introduced, then demonstrated, then we practiced in pairs, or as a group. Backed-up by Powerpoint displays, this was a fast-paced course, yet none of the attendees had any trouble keeping up. It was amazing just how much we covered in the two days.

So...when was the 'big sales pitch'? Well, John spoke for about ten minutes or so, at the latter part of the second day. It was, however, not a 'hard sell'. It seems that the company ethos is: This is us, if you like us, we'd be pleased to provide you with further training.

I whole-heartedly recommend this course, and the company, to anyone who wants to see what NLP is all about. You will learn a great deal in a short space of time. It's a genuine offer and the course materials are of a high quality. They don't do that "stand up and introduce yourself" stuff, which would be a relief to the shy amongst us.

If you are new to NLP and want to do more than just sit around and talk, then TAKE ACTION and book yourself onto their next course.
I'm extremely pleased that I did!

Hope this review has been of help.

John

I agree wholeheartidly with John's review. I also started my NLP journey on this free weekend and was totally sold on John Cassidy-Rice's ethics and beautiful nature. I have been with him ever since and the beauty of it is that you can go back as many times as you want to do your practitioner without paying another penny.

For newcomers to NLP: I know nothing about this particular trainer, but FWIW this is a pretty standard approach on NLP courses.

If you ever go on a course where any of this is missed out - especially if it's the demonstration - be very wary (even ask for your money back. This is the point where the trainer shows you whether s/he can actuall walk-the-talk, or only talk

Be well
