The taxonomy
- Webinar (1–3 hours): exposure. See the methodology demonstrated, meet the trainer, decide if the field interests you. Should be free or cheap
- Workshop (a day to a weekend): guided experience of core techniques. You feel the work happen; you do not leave fluent
- Course (weeks to months, practitioner-level): systematic training with practice design. Where capability is actually built
- Programme (long-format, e.g. 24 weeks): spaced practice, supervision, portfolio. The deep route for people who intend to use NLP professionally
Matching format to goal
Curious about NLP: webinar first — the Stop Doing NLP session demonstrates more real methodology in ninety minutes than most brochures explain. Want a taste of change work: workshop. Building professional capability: a course with observed practice. Making NLP your trade: long-format programme with supervision and a portfolio.
The common expensive mistake: buying a programme when a workshop would have answered the question, or buying a workshop when the goal was capability all along. Sequence cheap exposure before expensive commitment.
The price logic
Webinars are free because they are funnels. Workshops price the experience. Courses and programmes price capability-building — judge them on rupees per observed practice hour, not per day of attendance. The fees page carries the full breakdown.
