Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP)

eEssence Adventure runs NLP training in Kuala Lumpur for individuals, leaders and corporate teams across Malaysia, including the four-day NLP Practitioner Certification built on the syllabus of the American Board of NLP.

NLP stands for Neuro-Linguistic Programming. It is the study of how the language of our minds shapes our behaviour and the patterns we run in life — and, more usefully, how those patterns can be changed deliberately. We all carry “programs” for everything we do. Understanding them lets you strengthen the ones that serve you and rewrite the ones that do not.

A note on the name: Neuro-Linguistic Programming is sometimes confused with Natural Language Processing, the machine-learning field that shares the abbreviation. This page is about the former — human communication and behavioural change. We do not offer courses in computational linguistics.

NLP Practitioner Certification in Kuala Lumpur

4 Days Courses in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Our core programme is a four-day NLP Practitioner Certification, delivered in Kuala Lumpur. It follows the syllabus of the American Board of NLP, so the certificate you hold at the end is internationally recognised rather than a certificate of attendance issued by us.

Four days is short for the amount of ground covered, which is deliberate. The format is hands-on throughout: you practise each technique on a real situation of your own and then on a partner, because NLP is a practitioner skill and reading about an intervention teaches you very little about running one.

What the certification covers:

The NLP communication model — how experience is filtered before it becomes behaviour
Rapport and calibration: reading and matching another person’s communication style
Representational systems and the language patterns that reveal them
Anchoring — attaching a deliberate state to a chosen trigger
Reframing, and the meta model for questioning vague or limiting statements
Well-formed outcomes: goal setting built so that the goal is actually achievable
Fast phobia and limiting-belief techniques
Perceptual positions, for seeing a situation from more than your own vantage point
Modelling excellence — the method at the centre of NLP: identifying what a high performer does and reproducing it

You leave able to run these techniques on yourself and with others, with the certification to evidence it.

Our facilitators include NLP Master Practitioners — Eugene Wong among them — and you can see the wider faculty on our team page.

Who the training is for

NLP training attracts four fairly distinct groups, and the emphasis shifts depending on who is in the room:

Individuals working on their own communication, confidence, goals or a specific pattern they want to break
Business owners and leaders — NLP is built on modelling excellence, which is directly applicable to management, change and building a team’s morale
Trainers, coaches and facilitators adding practitioner-level skills: rapport with a room, persuasion, questioning, and helping people past their own roadblocks
Sales and negotiation teams using NLP to identify what a customer actually needs, build rapport quickly, and work through objections

Each is covered in more depth in the sections below. If you are booking for a corporate team rather than attending as an individual, tell us which of these describes your group and we will weight the programme accordingly.

No prior NLP experience is required for the Practitioner Certification.

HRD Corp claimable

Our NLP programmes are HRD Corp claimable, so for eligible Malaysian employers the cost can be drawn against your existing levy contributions rather than a separate training budget. We provide the programme documentation required for the claim.

This applies to corporate bookings. If you are attending as an individual rather than through an employer, ask us and we will tell you what is available.

Course fees

Fees depend on the format — the open four-day certification in Kuala Lumpur, an in-house programme delivered at your premises, or a tailored corporate programme built around a specific objective — and on group size.

Rather than publish a figure that turns out not to apply to you, tell us which format you have in mind and how many people are involved, and we will give you a straight number. If you are an eligible employer, we will also tell you what is claimable against HRD Corp so you can see the net cost rather than the gross one.

NLP for You

In NLP we know that you are in charge of your mind, therefore, your results.

NLP is a great tool for personal development because it is very versatile and can be applied to many areas of our life. For instance:

Understand more about yourself and what you really want in life
Improve your communication with yourself and others
Set goals in a way that almost guarantees success.
Motivate yourself to achieve the goals and desires.
Getting rid of unconscious patterns of emotion, thought and behaviour that get in the way of success.
Gain new perspective of yourself and others
Cure fears and phobias with this fast and effective process
See the world from five different perspectives for greater understanding, empathy and penetrating wisdom
Build Rapport Effortlessly by adjusting your communication style to get on anybody’s wavelength to build deep rapport and understanding.
Stepping from average to excellence in all areas of your life

Throughout this training you will uncover and work with the processes that precede behavior. You will learn the very fabric of thought and action. And you will learn a set of skills that can be the foundation for all the goals in your life.

Before the development of NLP, we had explanations as to why we act in certain ways. Since NLP, we have the understanding of how we act in those ways.

Are you eager to excel at fulfilling your potential in life? Are you ready for an enjoyable and fun hands-on learning experience? Imagine learning advanced skills that you can use in your own life for generating successful results – and powerful tools to help others attain their goals, dreams and aspirations.

NLP for Business & Entrepreneur

It takes a special person to start their own company or to lead a company. Do you know that according to Bloomberg, 8 out of 10 entrepreneurs who start businesses fail within the first 18 months. A whopping 80% crash and burn.

Do you realize more than half of the people who are promoted to management positions were not trained for these roles? Often time, they are either promoted for the wrong reasons, key among them being that they were good in the executional role below the management position.

NLP is the study of excellence in others and of how to replicate that excellence in yourself. This is known as “Modelling Excellence”. Since NLP is built around modelling excellence, the versatile skills of NLP can be used in virtually every aspect of business such as employee morale, goal setting, customer service, sales and marketing, project management, change management etc.

Common questions about NLP training in Malaysia

Is the certification internationally recognised?

Yes. The programme follows the American Board of NLP syllabus, and the practitioner certificate is recognised internationally rather than being an in-house award.

How long is the NLP Practitioner course?

Four days, delivered in Kuala Lumpur. Corporate and in-house formats can be arranged over a different schedule where four consecutive days will not work for your team.

Do I need any background in NLP or psychology?

No. The Practitioner Certification starts from first principles and assumes no prior study.

Is this the same as Natural Language Processing?

No. Natural Language Processing is a field of computer science. Neuro-Linguistic Programming is about human communication and behavioural change, and that is what we teach.

Can the training be delivered at our office?

Yes. In-house delivery anywhere in Malaysia is available, and for corporate groups it is often the more practical option.

What is the difference between a Practitioner and a Master Practitioner?

Practitioner is the foundation certification and the level our four-day programme awards. Master Practitioner is the level above it, going deeper into modelling and advanced language patterns. Speak to us about the route if that is where you are heading.
