“I recommend this course, absolutely, and wholeheartedly to those who are determined to not just practice NLP and Coaching, but to master it.”

“I particularly enjoyed the breadth of experience and styles of the different guest trainers. Tony and his team really do aim to go the extra mile and the extremely well stocked Student library is a small indication of the high standards and commitment to growth ever present at UKCPD.”

"Now my third learning experience with Tony and friends at the UKCPD. It's easy to understand why so many people are drawn to the college when every training activity they conduct is progressive and ahead of the curve. UKCPD really haVE made a positive difference to my effectiveness and skill, and I fully recommend their services. Thanks guys."

“The Master Practitioner diploma took my coaching and confidence to a whole new level. It far exceeded my expectations and greatly enhanced my understanding and appreciation of NLP. The energy, enthusiasm and knowledge of the core team and the visiting speakers were contagious and inspiring - which in turn has paid dividends in both my professional and personal life. I feel this course will be “the gift that keeps on giving!”

"I am so glad I chose to do the comprehensive Master Practitioner course with UKCPD, it was enormous fun. The timescale gave time to reflect on and absorb the learning, and I especially appreciated the variety of approaches that were included, and with the range of amazing people brought in to do that. That's given breadth and depth to my learning and growing mastery and in turn that leads to confidence."

“UKCPD have done a great job of delivering a Programme which respects academic rigor whilst providing an excellent combination of NLP skills and Coaching techniques. I have truly benefited from the experience.”

When you say “equivalent to an MBA” what exactly do you mean?

An ILM Level 7 is broadly comparable to postgraduate degree level work (such as a Master of Arts (MA), Master of Science (MSc), or Master in Business Administration (MBA) degree).

Qualifications attract “credits”, these are calculated by looking at the time it takes a student to successfully complete their chosen program of studies and the level of difficulty involved. One example would be the level of critical, thinking required at the higher level (5,7 & 8) qualifications. The usual calculation is 1 credit for every 10 hours of guided learning hours.

Additionally, Ofqual issues guidance on what level study programs are and what qualifications they lead to.

Simply by looking at the title of a qualification you will be able to see how difficult it is, how long it will take the average learner to complete, and its general content. As an example it might be helpful to know that:

GCSEs (grade A*–C) are level 2
GCE A levels are level 3
A post graduate qualifications are level 7
A PhD is a level 8.

(Source = Ofqual )

So, are you saying I will have an MBA at the end of this program?

No, an MBA is a specific title/type of qualification. A “Masters of Business Administration” this qualification is normally sought out for individuals operating as senior executives in the corporate world.

We are saying the level of your qualification in coaching and mentoring is set at the same level and when considering the amount of study and time it will take, as a more or less good comparison.

I.E., an MBA is set at Level 7, it has about 180 credits. Most MBS’ are taken over 2 / 3 years. Our Diploma in Coaching & Mentoring is set at Level 7 and you will have 3 years to complete the program. We estimate number minimum number of direct teaching hours on our program is about 270 or 36 days. (additional study days will be recommended)

Given the above, the estimated guided learning hours for our full program is well over 1000, so can attract about 100 credits.

Our training centre is open most days for personal study, our comprehensive library is there for you to use for additional study and to aid in your research etc for assignments. While we are a private training organization, we behave just like a state college or university.

So, can I get a university degree after completing this program?

Many UK universities will accept level 5, 6 or 7 qualifications as credits towards degree and post graduate degree courses (but check with individual universities first).

Our program is new; it is a work in progress. We are excited to be at the cutting edge of NLP and Coaching training and qualification, and we are still developing the end game as we take each step. We are still working with our professional bodies (ILM, AC, ANLP) to develop a world class program and qualification.

Our end goal has always been to partner with a university and be in a position to offer our students a pathway to a full degree if they wished. This process is ongoing, and we will keep our student body updated at all times as new opportunities are presented.

The BIG news is that this area is changing fast; recently the government minister with responsibilities for universities, Rt Hon David Willetts MP, has published a White Paper on various options for university funding, competition and encouraging the culture of more freedom for private organizations to issue degrees. We will of course be following these developments very carefully and develop our strategy and offerings to our students in line with bets practice and the best possible results for our students.
