NLP Courses
Neuro-Linguistic Programming enables YOU to live life by creating moments of “Everyday Magic!”
In the words of Richard Bandler,
“𝑵𝑳𝑷 𝒊𝒔 𝒂𝒏 𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒊𝒕𝒖𝒅𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒂 𝒎𝒆𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒅𝒐𝒍𝒐𝒈𝒚, 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒗𝒆𝒔 𝒃𝒆𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒅 𝒂 𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒍 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒐𝒐𝒍𝒔”.
At its heart, NLP is a study of patterns. Deciphering patterns of what doesn’t work, allows us to recognise cues that lead to breakdowns, dysfunction, or stuck states and prevent them in the future.
Deciphering patterns of what works allows us to recognise and refine our strengths in a manner that they can be utilised consistently.
To be able to do this for ourselves and with others generates an ability to create a lasting impact and influence in the personal and professional spheres of our lives.
NLP creates fundamental shifts in how we perform in life.
What is NLP useful for?
With NLP, you access excellence in every aspect of your life. It’s like a Swiss Army Knife on a camping trip — it’s portable, versatile, and helps everywhere.
We are heavy on application, and
light on lecturing.
You will practice NLP and apply it in your life, all by yourself! The Iridium difference is a “high quality of NLP skills achieved through depth of practice.”
I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.

Iridium – A Higher Standard for NLP Training and Practice
How would you feel if we gave you a book with detailed instructions on how to bake a cake, and then sent you to come back with a well-baked cake based on the knowledge from the book.
Wouldn’t that be odd?
A newbie to baking will gain different proficiency while baking their first cake, as opposed to their 50th cake.
Like baking, NLP is a doing discipline. It is best learnt through demonstration, practice, and continuous refinement.
At Iridium, we follow the stringent standards in learning competence levels set forth by the International NLP Trainers Association (INLPTA):
- A1 (knowing): Knowing how to recite the learning content
- A2 (understanding): Being able to explain in your own words
- B1 B2 (applying): Applying practically using what has been learned
- C1 (mastering): Being able to use what you have learned flexible
- C2 (pioneering): Invent new applications
Typical NLP courses equip you only with A1 or A2 learning competence level. In our view, this doesn’t serve the purpose.
Which is why, all our courses are designed to equip you with B-level or higher, so that NLP is in your bones and muscles, not just words printed on a certificate.
Feedback From NLP Course Students
Priyanka Eluri
I feel very lucky and privileged to have attended the NLP Foundation Course by Nikhil Damle. I stumbled upon his course over LinkedIn and then had a one-on-one conversation for an hour. I was impressed by the uniqueness of the course where we are working on ourselves to achieve anything and everything that we ever dreamt of.
The only ask was to bring our life into the course, which clarified that it is all about me and not a series of anecdotal lectures. I quickly signed up for his NLP Foundation Course which was module-based online Zoom sessions. The entire program was well structured and detailed with an eclectic mix of theory, practical, practical and more practical sessions.
Coming to the experience, NLP is the best thing that happened to me in the recent past. And I feel glad and proud to be Nikhil’s student. Nikhil is a fantastic coach with an in-depth understanding of the subject and an eloquent style of communication. His ability to convey the content without any filters is something very rare to find in coaches. He lets you be yourself completely and the solution is always from where you’re stuck and not where people in general are stuck. He always starts with what is it that you want for yourself, how you want to go about it and makes you chalk out a plan and execute it. This is the best part of learning from Nikhil!
I vividly remember the initial days of attending the course 2 years ago with the daily evening Zoom calls followed by weekly Zoom calls and innumerable need-based one-on-one sessions. The sessions were very intriguing and thought-provoking. I got an opportunity to explore the various choices I had in various facets of life. Interactions with other participants in the practice sessions unlocked newer dimensions to my areas of concern. All of this made the learning more meaningful. As a coach, Nikhil was available to his students for a quick/lengthy connect over WhatsApp/ phone / Zoom call.
I made the best use of it and reached out to him for career-related concerns. He helped me crack the issue in the NLP way and as a result, I made some major decisions and landed myself in a forward-looking corporate career path. When I look at the current position that I’m in, I really feel proud of myself. And it was only the beginning of many other life choices I made over the last 2 years. Today, I feel I have risen like a phoenix in several dormant aspects of my life.
Here comes the best part of the journey. Having done the foundation course, I got access to the internal NLP community of like-minded souls, fortnightly practice sessions, and bi-annual physical events. All of them are Nikhil’s offerings. These ensured the application of the NLP concepts and being in rapport with self and others.
I know this is only a humble start of my NLP journey towards excellence, and I cannot reap its benefits without practicing it in everyday life. In Nikhil’s words, “NLP is not a prescriptive discipline but ‘a doing’ discipline.” One who has gone through this can appreciate it, and I am glad that I did.
I would like to thank Nikhil Damle for putting together a course like this for NLP amateurs like me and helping me realise my full potential !

I had the pleasure of discovering Nikhil through his insightful articles on Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) on LinkedIn. Impressed by his depth of knowledge, I had the privilege of mentoring and training him to become an International NLP Trainer at our INLPTA NLP Trainer’s Training in Goa in November 2023 along with my mentors Robert Smith and Liz Bailey.
Nikhil’s understanding of NLP is truly remarkable, and he emerged as one of the finest trainers from our batch. His commitment to mastering NLP and his dedication to providing value to his trainees are truly commendable. Nikhil puts his heart into ensuring that each individual learns high-quality NLP skills through extensive practice.
If you are looking to develop a strong proficiency in key models and frameworks of NLP, I wholeheartedly recommend Nikhil. He is not only well-versed in the theoretical aspects but also excels in practical application. You can trust that with Nikhil, you will receive top-notch training and will never be disappointed.

I had the privilege of participating in coaching sessions led by Nikhil, and subsequently enrolling in his NLP Foundation program. When I began, I had little knowledge of NLP. Today, I find myself with greater clarity and life choices; thanks to the invaluable tools and techniques I acquired in the course.
These have not only enhanced my ability to engage in meaningful and productive conversations but have also transformed my internal dialogue for the better. NLP has become a lifelong pursuit for me. What pleasantly surprised me was that the journey extended beyond the course itself, with regular fortnightly connect sessions and ‘Deepening the Roots’ workshops. These platforms introduced me to a community of like-minded individuals dedicated to self-improvement.
I am deeply grateful to have had such a dedicated coach and inspiring co- learners throughout my NLP journey under Nikhil’s consistent guidance. His commitment to NLP and his innovative approach to keep participants engaged are truly commendable. Learning with Nikhil is not only educational but also enjoyable, as he integrates playfulness into the learning process. Best wishes to Nikhil on his endeavor to inspire and improve more and more lives through NLP.

NLP: A concept that came into my space this year, at first it showed up here and there, and later it was all over! So, when a friend of mine from college shared Nikhil’s NLP course details, I jumped at the opportunity. I came in with enthusiasm to learn the concepts and to learn to use them to better myself and also to learn how I can apply them in my work as a content writer and a startup founder.
I really liked the practical and practice-oriented approach that Nikhil designed for us. This way I know the concepts really well, having actually experienced them and seen them in action, how to use them, how not to use them. How and when to use which tool is something that has become a skill that I am mastering slowly at my own pace.
I admire Nikhil’s ease, confidence, plus mastery over the subject by which the participants gain from his rich & multi-layered experience. He also shows us how it is important to relax and put the other person at ease with a pleasant, calm, and collected demeanour. My interactions with Nikhil have left me feeling “heard” and “listened to. ” My questions have always been answered with enough time and attention.
I have learnt what I came here for. I will continue to grow through my practice knowing fully well that Nikhil will always be there to answer my queries and doubts. I highly recommend this program to anyone who is looking for a rock-solid foundation in NLP.

If you want to learn NLP, go to Udemy, but if you want to LIVE NLP, go to Nikhil. His way of teaching is very unique — a combination of both systematic and tailored. He can easily adapt as per individual learning styles to provide the best. It also ensures that individuals are able to use it practically in their lives. Many thanks to him! 😇

I entered into this course without having even the slightest understanding of what NLP is. After all these sessions, today, I see myself with more clarity and more choices about life in general. The tools and techniques I have learnt in this course have not only helped me in having meaningful and “clean” conversations with others but also improved the self-talk I used to have with myself.
With every passing day, I see myself improving. NLP is surely going to be an integral part of my life now on! Nikhil focuses more on practice than on mere textbook learning, which helps every participant to get hands-on experience and build confidence in using the tools and techniques. I am grateful to have got a great coach and awesome co-learners in the NLP journey I have undertaken.
