Created by: Kain Ramsay

Last updated August 2025

Our take

Based on the ratings of 26,904 students and a sample of their written reviews. No course pays to be reviewed.

Kain Ramsay's course is a long tour of Neuro-Linguistic Programming, running 41.7 hours on Udemy under personal development. The learning list covers presuppositions, representational systems and eye movements, goal setting, presentations, and how to coach someone using NLP. The pitch is mostly self-awareness and everyday people skills, aimed at people who do not want years of traditional psychology study. No prerequisites are listed, the level is All Levels, and the course was last updated in 2025.

Reviewers keep coming back to the teaching. They call it clear, relatable and easy to follow, with ideas broken into small, digestible pieces. One student says it starts with real basics so everyone is on the same level, and was glad of that. One reviewer warns that it rewards honesty, and that rushing or skipping self-reflection means getting little from it. Complaints are mild. One reviewer says the transcripts have a lot of errors, and another liked the teacher but was put off by his worldview. The sampled reviews all date from 2020.

With a 4.7 rating across 26,904 reviews, the course has clearly worked for a lot of people. It is paid and long, so it suits someone who wants a structured, patient introduction and will actually do the reflective work. A certificate is included, though reviewers talk about what they learned, not the credential. Anyone after a quick overview of NLP, or a short taster, will find 41.7 hours more than they need.

Best forPeople who want a patient, structured intro to NLP for self-development and everyday communication.
Skip it ifYou want a short NLP overview, or a strictly academic psychology course.

Pros

  • Reviewers call the teaching clear, relatable and easy to follow
  • Ideas are broken into small, digestible pieces, per reviewers
  • Starts from real basics so everyone begins on the same level
  • Covers goal setting, presentations and NLP coaching, plus a private community group

Cons

  • At 41.7 hours, it is a big time commitment for one topic
  • One reviewer found many errors in the transcripts
  • Sampled reviews are all from 2020, so recent feedback is thin
I'm learning lots. This info is broken down into very digestible morsels.

You will progress from understanding the basics, to confidently applying the different NLP principles (and practices) in all aspects of your personal or professional life.

I am thankful for your approach to teaching and I look forward to taking more classes to help me along my way with my schooling.

By Timea Kiss on 11/8/2020

Beyond all expectations... I can only recommend this course!

By Carrie Britt on 11/8/2020

Based on other NLP books Ive read and courses Ive taken, this seems to include very little about what NLP actually is.

By Shai Calderon on 11/8/2020

At the first few lectures, I was about to give up on the course, thinking that I already know what Kain is talking about BUT I can honestly say now that this is a life-changing course!

By Stephen Hopkins on 11/8/2020

Amazing and insightful. Kain has made these difficult concepts more easy to understand.

By Joseph on 11/1/2020

This is a great easy to follow and informative course that is worth much much more than the asking price. If you are new to NLP I highly recommend you watch this course. You will not be disappointed.

By Rowena Rivera on 11/1/2020

I love the course. It met my expectations in terms of content as well as delivery. Thank you.

By Ramesh Ramani on 10/27/2020

Yes this course is a good match for me .I have always been keen to learn about interpersonal dynamics. This course provides a very clear and scientific approach in peeling the layers that give form to us humans. This can help me become a NLP coach as well, given my years of experience dealing with large teams of people at my work place.

By Trippy Pat on 10/19/2020

Kain is very great teacher. He lays the concepts down it an easy to understand language

By Thomas Klenner on 10/19/2020

I like really like the instructor, Kain's accent. He speaks very clear and his Scottish accent makes the material more interesting to listen to. So far I rate this course 5 stars as the information is educational as well as interesting! It is one of the best courses on Udemy and Kain Ramsey over-delivers!

By Neha Bahuguna on 10/18/2020
