Our story
Training with standards, humour and a very human centre.
Training Excellence began with a simple idea: combine serious training standards with practical communication skills, human curiosity and enough humour to make learning memorable.
Human approach
Training that keeps technology useful, but puts people, practice and communication first.
Practical rigour
Standards, academic care, real-world application and the occasional well-timed laugh.
Useful change skills
Courses built around communication, awareness, practice and real-world application.
Why we exist
The training industry is changing. That can be a good thing.
Training is going through turbulent times. New technology has changed how people learn, practise and connect. Used well, that creates room for serious innovation.
Our focus is the human side of training: how people communicate, remember, decide, build confidence and use what they learn in real situations.
NLP Courses is part of that work: practical training for people who want useful change skills, not vague inspiration or clever-sounding theory that never leaves the page.
Once upon a time
John and Bernadette had a slightly unreasonable idea.
The original About page tells the story like a short narrative. This version keeps that spirit, but gives the story more shape and space to breathe.
The idea
John and Bernadette had the idea of running a training company. In a blink of an eye, Training Excellence was born.
The deeper question
It became clear that learning happens at many levels: memory, learning, the conscious and unconscious mind, linguistics and communication.
The standard
The work grew around training standards, academic rigour, practical application and humour: serious learning without becoming stiff.
The reach
Training Excellence has supported individuals and organisations around the world, from independent learners to small and large companies.
The approach
Useful training starts with people, not slides.
Amazing communicators throughout history have used stories because stories carry meaning, memory and connection. The same principle sits underneath good training: people learn best when ideas are clear, practised and connected to real life.
That is why our courses combine models, examples, practice, feedback and conversation. The aim is to help you understand how people think, communicate and change, then use that understanding with care.
What we care about
Standards, usefulness and a learning room people actually want to be in.
Practical application
Training should create skills people can use in conversations, coaching, leadership and everyday life.
Academic care
Good learning needs structure, standards and enough rigour to make progress visible.
Human connection
People learn through attention, trust, humour, feedback and the confidence to practise.
Clear standards
Good training needs clear expectations, responsible practice and careful use of the skills being taught.
Useful innovation
Technology should support the learner, not replace the human work of learning.
Enough about us
