Let us introduce ourselves...
Our names are Tony Burgess and Julie French and we are Directors of Academy of High Achievers Ltd (Aha!)
When you choose our training, you are choosing a life-enriching experience that you can only just begin to imagine now.
It has repeatedly become very clear to us that although people invest in our training very readily, they are usually unaware of just how positively impactful it is going to be until they actually arrive and begin to experience it. A typical comment from delegates when they begin to experience the full value of our training is: "I knew that it was going to be great and I had no idea it was going to be quite so amazing!"
Our flexible interest-free tailored payment plans make it more affordable than ever to make it happen for yourself - even when your cashflow is not yet as high as your enthusiasm to access the experience and get qualified!
Call us to discuss your specific needs!
Most people tell us that this deal actually makes it more affordable to take part in our top quality training compared to the many 'cheap' trainings on offer out there (where you may be required to pay the whole amount up front in a lump sum).

Residential venues:
We have previously delivered our residential NLP Practitioner training in Scotland, Spain, France and Glastonbury. Below are the two wonderful venues that we will be using for our residential training in 2010:

A group of 16th Century Cottages and Function Room in Glastonbury
A series of beautiful Gites set around a fuction room
in the Ardeche region of France
We have carefully selected residential venues to create that perfect atmosphere for your learning and development. Imagine having all your needs catered for from the moment you arrive until the moment that you leave, so you can simply focus on enjoying and engaging with the learning experience. We think you deserve to be looked after well whilst you train with Academy of High Achievers.

Some of the key factors that enrich your learning experience so significantly include the following:
- We insist on training only small groups of delegates (often a max of 8 people) which means that you get maximum attention from us as your trainers.
- The way we train and coach you really accelerates your learning by operating at both conscious and unconscious levels of processing and by the time you depart you will be a shining example of NLP excellence.
- We provide a unique, clear, practical and super-simple conceptual model through which you can apply all of your change tools (existing and new) to effect positive change effortlessly and reliably, whatever it is that your clients want to achieve.

- We keep out of the unnecessary jargon that often goes with teaching models and methods for facilitating change. We know that helping you to shine as the outstanding facilitator of change that you can be, is about helping you to 'perform' super-effectively rather than helping you to use fancy terms.
- We teach you to be able to work 'content-free' (hence the reference to 'blindfolded' at the top of the page). What we mean by this is that you will become skilled at helping people to make massive progress even when you don't know what it is that they actually want to achieve (only the clients themselves need to know what they want in order for you to help them massively). This is so powerful. So often, 'contamination' can occur when well-meaning change facilitators get drawn into the client's 'story' and start to offer their own opinions and solutions based on their own models of the world. By being able to offer content-free support, you can keep the change process 'pure', freeing the clients own solutions and resources to move forward effectively. Being able to operate in this way makes you a change facilitator that can operate at a level that is head and shoulders above the level at which most are operating.
- You will have lots of opportunity for your own personal development breakthroughs carefully and closely supported by Tony, Julie and Steve as well as your fellow delegates. This programme is stacked full of 'Aha!' moments and it is a fabulous opportunity to take a big step up on your personal success journey!
- When you graduate from the programme, you will be personally supported by us for FREE for your whole lifetime (or at least for as long as we are alive and well enough to support you), as you become part of the Academy's treasured 'family'. This ensures that you will keep your NLP tools sharp and that you continue to live and breathe it!

The diaried free support opportunities we offer to you amount to an added value of at least £900 + per year on an ongoing basis and that is without taking into account the value of the additional 'ad hoc' free support that we provide you as and when it is requested.
- On our residential programmes we have fully qualified personal fitness trainer, Steve Halls, with us for the entire programme to ensure that you are having a truly holistic development experience.
Steve is an absolute gem and delegates simply love him! He is an NLP Master Practitioner himself and he weaves the skills seamlessly in with his input as a fitness trainer. There are lots of personal breakthroughs experienced by our delegates in the area of fitness during the residential, including delegates that had not done any kind of deliberate structured exercise since they were a child at school and who considered themselves very unfit.
Steve has a fabulous sense of humour and a great energy about him. He also plays the guitar and sings for us (if we ask nicely) as we relax at the end of a fabulous day of training (on residential programmes).

- On some of our residential training events, Steve's wonderful wife, Marie, as well as being a fully qualified fitness instructor herself, can step into her other expert role of trained and experienced chef for the week - looking after your physical nourishment for the duration of your stay. She really does a fantastic job and we are very lucky to have her on board as part of the Aha! family.
Marie is also a qualified NLP Practitioner herself.

With the whole team dedicated to supporting you on your development journey, we know that the richness and depth of your experiences with us will be something that will stay with you forever.

Our staightforward no quibble guarantee to you when we welcome you onto our programme is that you will have a value packed and life-enhancing experience or your money back! It's as simple and outstanding as that!

Investment:
Your investment includes the training itself where you will be closely supported by Tony and Julie, all training materials including 20 CD set and manual, full certification as an NLP Practitioner, ongoing support from Tony and Julie after graduation (amounting to an added value of at least £900 + per year on an ongoing basis), and life membership of Academy of High Achievers.
We offer interest-free tailored payment plans to spread the fee over an agreed number of months to make this training more affordable than ever! Just call us and we can draw up a plan to suit your circumstances!
Investment fees for the whole training programme delivered as an 8-day non-residential can be as low as £2275 + Vat per person (this fee usually applies if you and/or your group travels to receive training in Stafford).

If you choose to make the training a 7-day full-immersion residential experience, (which in our opinion is the very best way to receive your training), your investment also includes opt-in health and fitness sessions with Steve at the beginning of each day, coaching and training into the evening from Tony and Julie, your accomodation (a room to yourself) and all your meals throughout. Investment fees for the residential training experience starts as low as £3250 + Vat depending upon the location and the type of venue chosen and the time of year.

More words from some of our past delegates:
Jane's Experience:
Jane Keogh, NLP Practitoner, comments on her training experience:
Jane qualified with us in April 2007, Malaga, Spain
"WOW! I went (on the course), with some outcomes in mind - definite 'stuff' that I wanted to deal with. I came away having achieved all of those outcomes and more. It wasn't just about my own transformation/breakthroughs, it was about being a part of other people's and sharing with them was a fantastic experience and privilege.
The arrow breaking exercise, during which I chose specifically to deal with one of my major outcomes (I knew that I would know when the right moment presented itself), was a major achievement. A tremendous anchor. Touching, feeling and now just looking at the broken arrow triggers some incredibly powerful feelings of well being!
Living life 'in the flame' is my desire and a week on the practitioners course was the beginning of that for sure!
It's also so wonderful to have 'unclogged' my brain. What I mean specifically, is that it's like I have 'fast filed' stuff that was lying dormant and taking up disc space. As a result, my clarity of thought is so much sharper (pinging to be exact!), and my ability to take on new learnings and concepts has heightened. It's like my brain and in particular my unconscious mind, has become a soft, receptive sponge (natural variety of course), moist and healthy instead of hard,dry and scratchy (that's in the past) - allowing valuable knowledge and learnings to process through.
Of course the valuable relationships that developed over the week and the friendships now growing on the back of an incredible week of growth and development have also added to the experience. For me personally, being there with Sean (my husband) was an added bonus - to see his confidence and natural ability shine through stronger each day was immensely satisfying and rewarding.
I'm looking forward to the next Master Practitioner Course."
Alex Hewitt:

"Truly Inspiring! Tony and Julie make all concepts so easy to grasp. I was able to share a remarkable journey and start one of my own. Much appreciation and gratitude to the whole team"
Alex Hewitt, NLP Practitioner - Glastonbury 2007 (Age 17 at the time of the course - our youngest NLP Practitioner graduate to date! A remarkable man!)
Steve Scholey:
"Brilliant! Everything I was told to expect and so much more. The training and insights from Julie and Tony was inspired and inspiring. The knowledge is imparted in so many subtle and powerful ways. My learning was effortless and deep. The combination of NLP and fitness training across the week was such an innovative and effective strategy. I came for NLP training and I go away with my life changed for the better in all sorts of ways. Thanks a million!"

"Dear Tony and Julie
This NLP Practitioner course has been the most amazing, enriching, empowering experience. It far exceeded my expectations - which were high as I had already seen you present several times. What you do - and help others to do - is awe-inspiring. Seeing the transformations that took place and experiencing my own transformations is priceless - invaluable and incalculable. I'm only beginning to glimpse all the possibilities - I know that I will easily spot more and more opportunities and ways to continue benefitting as the days, weeks, months and years go by.
A memorable and remarkable experience. What you give to each of your delegates is the most amazing gift we could ever have - our true self in all its glory!
You supply the best, most effective and easy-to-use 'diamond polishing equipment' I have ever seen.
Thank you!
My love always to you both, my dear friends.

"Individually, Tony and Julie are powerful coaches and trainers and working together as a training team, they combine to dot every 'i' and cross every 't' when it comes to NLP training.
The content was fascinating, superbly structured, and in addition to this, was very interactive and experiential enabling all delegates to really sense that they could "use" the tools they were learning.
The relaxed and fun style enabled us all to laugh "so much" as we learnt, practised and applied our new skills in a supportive and professional programme.
We all left knowing that we could use this stuff!
Tony and Julie made it all so easy to understand and apply.
It changes lives, including your own.
Amazing results even whilst still on the course !!!"

We'll leave the final words to more of the wonderful people that we have had the pleasure and privilege to train:
"What a fantastic course"
Simon Streeton, Action Coach
"Just awesome. I now know what all the people I have spoken to, who have been on the programme, absolutely rave about. A major life-changing event - challenging, enjoyable, fun and just opening my eyes to all the opportunities that lie ahead on this journey. Working with such a professional and motivating Aha! team has really been outstanding. I can recommend this to anyone who wants to be the best they can be"
Ian Nicklin, Action Coach
"I highly urge anyone who is looking for inner calm and a collection of resources that can benefit every aspect of their lives to do this training"
Max Tubbs
"A life changing week! An amazing, wonderful experience! Tony, Julie and Steve are the most amazing facilitators for change. At a business level, I have developed the skills to make a real difference to my clients, work colleagues and the business itself. On a personal level it opened up endless possibilities and showed me my potential for achieving my dreams. Thank you for helping me see me and to know that being me is an amazing thing to be!"
Anne Brown, Director, Stepping Stones Mediation
"A truly life-enhancing experience for body, mind and spirit. My high expectations have been exceeded. I am coming away with very real personal experiences of how powerful NLP is as a way of life. As a minimum I have tools that I have used and feel comfortable using to help people. Far more than that though, my outlook on life and my desire and enthusiasm to see me and everyone I come into contact with truly live the life we deserve and were designed for has been intensified. The 7 days have been marvelous and have been stored in my treasure chest of wonderful memories. I recommend (insist upon) this course to other coaches and to all people who have others in their circle of influence (teachers, parents....)"
Mark Dyble, Action Coach
"Fantastic experience that has surpassed all expectation. Well structured and has given me much more clarity to all areas of my life. My personal growth has gone through the roof!
Rebecca Pitt
"The course was from start to finish interesting, stimulating, challenging and above all, loads of fun! This was due to a couple of amazing, unique and inspirational trainers as well as the fantastic bunch of delegates who made it all such a positive and great experience (and Steve Halls for his unique and very special contribution).
I have learned so many skills and techniques that will change my life and the way I feel about myself when I apply them consistently. Thank you for giving me such an amazing and wonderful experience."
Sharon Gaskin
The Trainers Training Company
"Thank you for an awe-inspiring,life changing experience. The past 7 days have brought learning, reflection, emotion, new insights and fun! Wrap this up with the fabulous content and truly outstanding delivery from both of you and I can say that this training really has been the full package. Congratulations on achieving such inspirational levels of excellence. Your passion and total commitment to what you do has ensured that I take away the skills to touch people's lives and also my own life has been positively affected by the magic you have performed. I can wholeheartedly recommend this course as an event which can and will change lives."
Andy Hemming
Action Coach
"Thank you for this life changing opportunity! I consider myself incredibly blessed to have been empowered and to take these wonderful teachings out into the world. This journey is only just beginning and holds so much excitement and potential. With so much clarity as to what the future now holds and determination to use my new found NLP skills - I see no boundaries, only opportunities; no problems, only solutions! With love and gratitude to you both."
Karen Steele

"A quite amazing 7 days. Fantastic content delivered in such an ingenious and energising way that I know that so much of the learning is now part of me.
The magic of NLP has, in the space of a week, allowed me to redefine my purpose, my ideal outcomes and my priorities. It has given me insight into what has been in my way and opened my eyes and heart to the resources I have within me to get those obstacles out of the way.
Tony, Julie and Steve have combined and conspired to make a real difference to my life and have primed me to get out there and make a real difference to other people's lives. Tony and Julie did a fantastic job of getting together a great group of 'practitioners in training' and their inspiration, enthusiasm, talent and energy enabled the whole group to connect and grow together.
I look forward to staying very much part of the Aha! family as I continue my journey"
Graeme Crosbie
Action Coach / Level Up (South West)
"Everybody knows you are the NLP Gurus and this life experience simply reinforces that. Simply outstanding. With much love, gratitude and laughter"
Nicola Masters

"An amazing, magical journey of enlightenment. Fantastic!! Thank you so much for helping me feel a fantastic human being"
Owen Ward
"I believe the magic of the course began working for me from the time I agreed to do it and continued througout the course. The tools became useful immediately, facilitating dramatic improvements in my relationship with one of my sons in particular. I also began to see results straight away with my clients.
The course was fun in a way that made learning easy and effortless, and embedded possibly forever.
Julie and Tony you are true professionals, wonderful and caring human beings. Your passion for NLP is infectious"
Predencia Gabbidon

"Fantastic course. The pace was excellent. The teachings amazing. The venue so very special. You are such a special couple. I have learnt so much about me. You have helped me to find the diamond inside and I shall be forever grateful to you. An incredible journey with such an amazing group of people, who I now count as my friends"
Annie Magowan
"A fantastic journey of self awareness. Focuses on how to use NLP instead of just theoretical stuff. Phenomenal tutors - Bundles of energy, fun and wisdom. Truly inspiring stuff. If you're serious about changing your life or helping others to do so, this training is a must!!!! It stretched my comfort zones and I will take away some fantastic learnings and memories. Magic!"
