Has anyone had experience of the online NLP courses from Groupon?

Hi there

I was just wondering if anyone has had any experience of the online NLP courses? I have seen an offer on Groupon today for a social media marketing course (usually £299) at NLP Centre of Excellence for £30.

Is it worth doing?

Many thanks.

  • I'd look into whether the course has any kind of accreditation. I suppose that NLP could be used somehow in social media marketing but much of it is based on building rapport, visual/audio clues etc. I'd be surprised if a company specialising in NLP techniques was equally adept in social media marketing, but do some research on the company, look for reviews etc. don't bother spending money on a getting a certificate that is worthless because it's just something they run up themselves (I nearly fell into that trap with TEFL courses on there).

    I dont see the correlation either in terms of social media /marketing.

    OP there are many online videos and videos you can download for free, I wouldnt bother, not even for that amount
