Student Feedback

“My coaching journey began with an NLP Practitioner course through The Coaching Room. With much of my post graduate training I viewed it as another ‘skillset’ I could utilise with the professional athletes I work with. What I quickly realised was that it was a personal developmental journey and only by truly understanding myself could I support my clients in the best possible way.

Subsequently working 1:1 with Jay has given me the forum to challenge my philosophy in how I want to work and how I want to represent myself in the professional sport environment. He has helped me to take my coaching to the next level of performance, from superficial delivery of scientific principles to actual human development. For this I am truly grateful”

Patrick Harding

Performance Coach in Formula 1 and Profession Boxing

"Truly excited at my potential after beginning the work on myself for myself. Invariably this has impacted positively those I work with and crucially those I love. Unknowing also probably those I do not have close relationships with. At first my intention was to develop the skills and begin this mission to get something. However after completing NLP live and as I prepare to go on Masters, I am awake to the truth that I will be gaining nothing other than being fully present and living now ! to my true potential. (Damn - I wish I put that on my final worksheet) :). If you have any doubts about doing this work and starting with the Coaching room. Don't - just do it and let the change into your life."

Jake Aliker

Professional Strength and Conditioning Coach, Force and Grace

"I made a spontaneous decision to join the course the night before it started , so I missed the introduction and have needed to ask questions for clarity regarding the next steps . The team responded quickly and I'm booked into the next course . It's taken a few sessions for the "NLP penny to drop " and I've practiced going with the flow ,regarding the inevitable confusion Joseph , Jay & Max have assured us means learning something new ! There are many more layers to NLP than I knew and it took a few lessons to understand the NLP language - but it's been so much fun and such a great feeling to really start to get it !! Looking forward to continuing the journey . Thanks to all for the incredible knowledge and mastery you have shared."

Liz Fardon

“After the NLP training course, I realised that NLP is such a powerful and amazing tool that it helped me increase my self-awareness and understanding of the other people. I believe by utilising NLP techniques and skills, we would be able to develop our potential and build up better relationships with others. Thanks Jay, Joseph, Max and Adam for your wonderful training and assistance. It is a great journey. I certainly would recommend this course to anyone who would like to achieve personal growth and live a more meaningful and enjoyable life.”

Yarong Yan

“Prior to enrolling in the NLP Practitioner's program, I thought that NLP was a complicated and difficult process. I used to find it hard to accept the current situation, I was stressed at work and struggling to deal with the office environment. Through meeting with other course members I saw that many people were facing similar issues and there was a safe space to discuss the cause for the confusion and learn how to overcome this situation. I can see now that NLP is not complicated, and it is something that helps to understand oneself better to be able to face reality through clear thinking, and this training has a meaningful impact on daily life. Thank you very much to Maxie, Jay, Joseph, Adam and the team at the Coaching Room.”

Sondarya Krishnan

"I wanted to learn about how the brain works and how we can use it for our benefit. I was initially concerned about choosing The Coaching Room because I didn't know if the content was going to be relevant or different from what I already knew. What I found was an amazing amount of new theories, content, ideas and techniques to apply first to myself and then to my clients. All the concepts and exercises were so deep and life changing I am still in aw. The results that I got are amazing. Very well explained theory and specific and relevant exercises for its application. I particularly liked how all the content has a specific application. It is not about learning the content but about how we can apply it to our life to create whatever we want for ourselves and others. This course is the difference that can make a difference in your life. 100% recommended."

Pau Issel

“ Amazing awakening! Would 100% recommend this course to make a difference to work life, family life and personal life. You will not be disappointed!”

Kellie Brooks

“The Coaching Room was recommended to me by a good friend, now amazing coach himself. I had little knowledge of NLP, but after speaking with my friend I was hooked. I had to know more. My journey so far with the Coaching Room has been amazing, terrifying, confusing, ever evolving. The knowledge I have gained about myself and the results I've achieved from the processes have been life changing. I walk around lighter, less troubled with a far clearer way of viewing the world. There is still so much to learn and I look forward to embracing what's next. Thank you to The Coaching Room team.”

Sandra Barling

“I’ve participated in both online and in person programs and the work I’ve done with Jay, Joseph and The Coaching Room crew metaphorically held my hand while I consciously uncoupled from something akin to abuse; with the saboteur being my mind. Their programs elicit effective pedagogy, so the sessions aren’t dull, while also combining humour, wit and room to explore your own edges. Be here now.”

Charlotte Coles

“As a sports coach and leader, I am exposed to the numerous, differing and diverse issues which can affect performance Through the work I have accomplished with Jay, I feel that I am beginning to have a greater understanding of these issues as well as those strategies which are required to enable an individual and team to rationalise and overcome such problems.

The focus of this work has very much surrounded my own coaching process and specifically my own inbuilt belief system.

Through challenging this process and mindset, I am recognising how my own personality and characteristics play a pivotal role in my coaching and particularly my relationships with my players.

I believe that anyone in a similar position and having someone in your Management Group with Jay's quality skills and vision is fundamental in enabling both oneself and the team to unlock their potential.”

Gareth Baber - Fiji Rugby 7s 2020 Tokyo Olympic Gold Medal Coach

“I have attended NLP and Leadership training with the Coaching Room from 2018 to present through my employer, Fiji Airways. The Leadership training conducted by Jay Hedley has been unlike any other training I have attended previously throughout my career. It has increased my self-awareness of my own communication and behaviours and those that I interact with. It has transformed my thinking and how I run my brain. The NLP Practitioner training has taught me skills about the NLP Communication Model and Coaching basics. Overall the past two years of leadership development with the Coaching Room has made me a more confident, humble and brave human being who is not afraid to try new things. I have gained valuable insights, wisdom and patience to be prepared for a “new normal” in today’s Covid world. My life goal now is to help other human beings transform their lives with meaning and purpose.”

Dianne Masih-Reddy

Manager of Leadership Development, Fiji Airways

“I have been working with Jay and The Coaching Room for almost 2 years and the experience has completely transformed my life; personally, professionally cognitively and spiritually. Through one-on-one coaching and the NLP Practitioners Course my day to day existence and experience in life at work (in High Performance professional sport) and play has had a profound uplift. The way I communicate with myself and others as well as how I make sense of the world around me has never been more effective and authentic. Whilst I know I have so much further growth in my journey; what I have learnt so far has released incredible joy. Following NLP Practitioner course with the Enneagram Course has been like frosting on the cake. I feel like I see myself and the world through a more compassionate, present and joyful lens, with a deeper appreciation for the beautiful intricacies of human personality and character. I have grown significantly in the way I engage with others and navigate different types of situations, relationships and above all things, the tough stuff. For a more tangible testimony I have received two executive promotions within three months of completing the Enneagram Course with humbling feedback about my unique and powerful perspective and the way I see people. I don’t believe it’s unique and powerful. I believe it’s a direct result of the ‘magic’ that is taught by The Coaching Room.

Jay, Joseph and their team are inspiring, challenging, fun, effective presenters and absolute masters of their craft.”

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Which boards regulate the field of NLP in Australia and Internationally?

NLP and the field of coaching are unregulated fields internationally, which is exactly the same for the field of counselling.

All NLP accreditation bodies (ICF, NLPAA, AANLP, INLPTA, The American Board of NLP and so on) are self-appointed bodies. There's no one single governance body for NLP or Coaching in Australia.

We think it’s important to understand that all of these organisations are private (often for profit) organisations. They are usually founded by NLP trainers and coaches who want to promote their own interested including their own NLP training curriculum and a desire to appear more credible by creating a board, a code of ethics and a constitution.

Who does The Coaching Room certify through?

As NLP is an unregulated field, and all NLP boards are created by the trainers themselves; there is simply no higher governance system other than the trainers and coaches who make up the boards. Who are they governed by? Themselves, …

The Coaching Room (TCR) is self-governed with the highest standards. Our NLP accreditation forms part of our Integral Professional Coaching Program, which aligns with most international NLP and coaching bodies’ standards for hours, content, assessment, etc. but transcends them in terms of quality.

We've been teaching thousands of people to grow personally and/or coach with NLP for over 15 years, and we have been part of many the global boards of NLP over time. TCR is simply not interested in the made-up politics of the NLP and Coaching Industry.

Our focus is on your skill development, to ensure you can practice NLP with skillful means safely and effectively. You can take a closer look at our free 90+ minute NLP webinar here (includes 3 live coaching demonstrations), along with full course content explained.

Is your NLP certification good anywhere?

Yes. For people who wish to get continuing education, our program is usually accepted by most International boards for further training purposes. For those who wish to practice as a professional coach or NLP coach, TCR’s NLP accreditation is an excellent credential.

Who owns NLP?

No one person or company in the world owns the IP, or the rights to NLP. NLP is an unregulated specialty field. Think of NLP like the field of “business”. The name “business” and the field of business are in the public domain. Anyone can enter the field, get training and call him/herself a businessperson.

No certifying body has control over the field of business. No government authority has requirements that stop anyone from calling herself a practitioner of business. NLP is the same.

Is the term “NLP Practitioner” legitimate?

Yes. NLP is a legitimate stand-alone field and has been established for more than 40 years and is supported by academic rigour more recently. NLP has become synonymous with the field of professional coaching (world-wide), because of its approach to Developmental, Positive and Personal Construct Psychologies.

Why become certified in NLP?

To learn how to apply the skills of NLP to personal development (yours and in working with others). This is what NLP is all about. NLP training doesn’t offer legal authority, college diplomas or government licenses. What you get from NLP training is the growth and development of your communication skills.

Are NLP trainers who are affiliated with other certification boards better?

An NLP trainer is only as good as his/her NLP skill and experience. You should evaluate his/her merit based on your experience of the trainer and their students.

How do I choose an NLP training?

Book in a 10 minute Chat with one of our NLP trainers by using this handy calendar link, ask if they have recordings of their demonstrations and practices, or students that you may speak with. There is simply no substitute for this. The trainer will either demonstrate their skill and impress you (or not).

Does the course content change between the Face-to-Face program and the Online live program?

The course content is exactly the same – though it is delivered a little differently through each medium. Both mediums have advantages and therefore disadvantages:

1. Face to face advantages

Delivered over 2 x 4-day blocks as an intensive immersion
Transmission between facilitator and student is clearer and stronger
Sense of community through casual interactions is stronger
More 1-1 interactions with the trainer

2. Online Live advantages

Learn in first and 3rd person (you get to watch yourself learn on-screen)
Sessions are recorded and placed in your Learning Management System (LMS) for review (again and again) for 12-months
LMS houses additional resources
Cheaper delivery method (half the fees)
Clearer demonstrations (you get to adjust volume, view, picture size, brightness etc.)
Sessions are completed over time, giving more time for integration and practice between sessions

More info on the fees please?

Fees for face-to-face are $3449 and Online live are $1724 including GST

There are 3-month payment plans when you book online. If you require a longer payment plan please CONTACT US HERE.

Are there any assessment tasks?

Yes, there are assessment tasks for most sessions. These assessment tasks can be found and answered on your LMS. They are optional, but if you would like to become an accredited NLP Practitioner, you will need to complete these all within 12 months of starting the course.

What happens if I miss a session or can't make the live zoom session?

If you are unable to make one or multiple of the live zoom sessions, you will be able to catch up via our Learning Management System (LMS). The live zoom sessions are all recorded and then uploaded onto our LMS platform within 24 hours.

Can I chat with a trainer?

Yes absolutely, we'd love to chat. To chat with a trainer, either call us 1300 858 089 or book in our calendar here
