Loving it

Loving it. I have been working through the Certificate and NLP practitioner combined course and have thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Steve not only keeps it interesting and interactive but also thought provoking. My preferred style of learning has always been classroom based, but Steve has managed to create a classroom feel on line and its fab!!

The ACT NLP course changed my life

Doing the NLP course with the Academy of Coaching and Training offered skills that have had a profound effect on me both personally and professionally. Steve Payne delivered the online course in such a unique and engaging way that really showed me how great online learning could be delivered and really set the bar high for any other online degrees. His acting background brings an element of drama and engagement to Steve’s delivery of content that really sparks passion and interest with the subject. I feel that teachers could really learn from watching Steves teaching style. We had breakout rooms to work in groups and he could come in and observe us whilst we worked together, so we could still be guided and offered help in group work even over a computer/zoom. The people I met on my course I will keep in touch with for the rest of my life. I made some very close bonds doing this course. This course is 10/10 and I recommend the NLP coaching diploma to anyway who wants to learn about coaching but also to anyone who just wants to boost their personal communication skills as well. It'll help you see the relationships of people around you and your self in a whole new perspective.

Life changing training

No other training has led to such profound changes in my life on a personal and professional level. I completed my NLP Practitioner, Master Practitioner and Coaching certification with Steve. These high quality training courses gave me the skills and confidence to start my own coaching business, which has been deeply fulfilling and rewarding. As one of the world's most qualified NLP Master Trainers, Steve not only has an incredible depth of knowledge and expertise, he also has a wonderfully supportive, encouraging and engaging style of teaching. I would highly recommend the Academy of Coaching and Training to anyone who is ready to make empowering, positive changes in their own life and the lives of others.

Unhesitatingly Recommended!

For anyone interested in learning and developing their skills in NLP, Coaching and related subjects, look no further.
Whether it's a short introductory course or a full NLP Master Practitioner and Coaching Programme, or a refresher, the style is consistent: friendly, thorough, inclusive and thoroughly effective. Steve Payne, CEO, is exceptional in his ability to connect with people, his knowledge, and his seemingly limitless energy.
From my introduction some years ago to this year's Master Expert Series, the events have always proved informative and highly enjoyable.

These are Life changing courses...

I've taken a number of courses with ACT over many years - Some related to NLP coaching (mind blowing the positive results this can achieve) some related to public speaking (you'll never present the same way again!) - All courses have been enjoyable, challenging and contributed hugely to my personal development. Don't think twice - sign up!

Not only did I learn lots of new approaches to coaching I had a lot of fun along the way. I particularly enjoyed the NLP part - my view about so many things will never be the same again! Highly recommend Steve's training.

Second to none for standards and training

When I first did my research for coach and NLP training, I found it quite overwhelming. I even signed up to an NLP Practitioner course but it still wasn’t quite what I wanted as I wanted a combination of accredited coaching and NLP but could only find separate trainings.

This led me to continue my search and I am so glad I did as I discovered The Academy of Coaching and Training.

My initial call with Steve resonated with my own values so much; it was clear he was a trainer who held high personal and professional standards. He was also very highly trained and so it was an easy decision to make.

I’ve never looked back since and the level of integrity, standard of accredited training and personal attention continues to be second to none.

Training with Steve is a powerful experience as he not only teaches the tools and skills of coaching to a high level, but also demonstrates how to master a deep level of intentional, connective, client focused coaching that delivers results.

NLP has become my passion and go-to. It’s changed my life, along with the coaching skills and not least helped me to understand myself and become more empowered as a coach, businesswoman, mother and human. I don’t know how I would coach anyone without the incredible communication skills of NLP!

I took my coach and NLP diploma training
in 2018 and have since continued my training with the Academy to qualify as an NLP Master Practitioner and I’m currently on the 2022 NLP Trainers Training programme.

The ACT community is so supportive and engaging and I’ve made some wonderful friends too.

This is so much more than a coach training academy and, if you’re reading this and you care about standards, ethics, integrity and learning from the best, then I highly recommend this training for your next level.

Get ready to change your life and future!

Thank you Steve for all your support, high quality training, guidance and ethical leadership.

Fabulous

I simply wanted a Coaching and NLP qualification to match my workplace training and motivational skills. The A.C.T. Team provided the platform for me to achieve those certs and so very much more. There’s some work involved but it was so rewarding and great fun.

Training with the ACT organisation is always supportive and motivating, far more than my initial expectations, which allowed the group to develop and gain a greater range of Coaching and NLP experience, knowledge and competence.

I truly enjoyed the experience.
Many thanks indeed A.C.T.

Life changing

Life changing.
I came across Steve and NLP at a point in my life when I needed it most. The greatest gift I have ever been given - learning to be self aware and understand the world and my place in it in a way in the deepest of ways. Steve’s courses (I have done many) are brilliant in content and delivered by an absolute master. He’s a gifted communicator and genuine lovely human too. Thank you Steve. Can’t wait for the next installment!

More than just training!

Not only does TACT give you the best training for NLP and coaching but it also brings you into a community of likeminded people with similar goals.

On top of that, Steve Payne is possibly the best trainer around. He will be able to untap your true potential and train you to the highest level.

If you’re looking to become a coach, train within NLP, speak on stage with confidence, or deep dive into a personal development journey, then this is the only place you should be looking.

Professional, Flexible, Accessible

I did my coaching course with TAOCT and previously did a course on public speaking with them. In my experience they always deliver their courses in a very friendly, flexible and accessible fashion. They also cover such a range of useful content which is so applicable that I find it fit for use in both professional and everyday environments.

Best NLP courses ever

I highly recommend the Academy of Coaching and Training. I attended several courses designed and delivered by Steve Payne and I learnt an enormous amount of new skills and competencies. Steve Payne is a very effective and knowledgeable trainer who is able to explain all concepts well and clearly. This is exactly what I wanted and needed. Thank you very much.

Learning from an expert

I have taken training with Steve at taoct in both NLP and Coaching. The care, attention and expertise that Steve shares with you is unique. Its not just about getting the concepts but also about developing the whole you to be the best coach, NLP practitioner (or in my case) human being I can be. Steve is a supreme trainer and in his care I grasped concepts that at first felt hard, with ease. I learnt how to apply them to myself and others, with simplicity. And, am part of a cohort of excellence that is developing coaching and our understanding of ourselves to new heights.

Game changing.

Game changing. Doesn't really need more to be said. Simply game-changing! By far the best training I've ever received (by a long way) in my entire career spanning nearly 30 years.

Steve is a Phenomenal Trainer

Studying with Steve and ACT has been life changing. Steve is the most phenomenal trainer. He is always 100% committed to his students and delivers content in the best possible way. He is engaging and REAL ! Signing up for any training course that Steve offers through ACT will be the best gift and fullest expression of self-growth you can offer yourself.

Exceptional training with the ACT

The training at the Academy of Coaching and Training is exceptional and Steve uses NLP to teach with authenticity and integrity meeting his students at their level of growth. It makes very little difference if you choose Live-Online or in person training and the online sessions have expanded my network around the globe. Steve and his team make sure that everyone works together to achieve the best results possible for your personal or business needs and despite local competition I have returned for more training with this values driven company. I highly recommend.

An eye opening experience run by excellent NLP Master Trainer Steve which is a must for somebody who is ready and want to bring the skills to the next level. Family atmosphere where trust is build throughout the course. It was great to come out as a new person at the end. Thanks to The Academy of Coaching and Training for facilitating such an amazing experience for me!
