The training is very practical and after the course the participants are able to administer the Instrument as well as give guidance to children and adults. Understanding a person's thinking preferences will lead to a more successful interpersonal interaction in organisations and is of crucial importance in many areas of organisational endeavors such as strategic planning and marketing.

The aim of the Whole Brain Practitioner Training programme is to give the particular person the right to use the Whole Brain Instrument and give the necessary support. The training equips a person with the skills to understand your brain (thinking preferences) and those of others. Thus you will not only be able to identify their thinking preferences, but also be in a position to explain and consult them further concerning the four quadrants of the brain.

The Whole Brain Practitioner Training course offers an in-depth look into the different quadrants of the brain and teaches the techniques and skills necessary to consult others and analyse a person's thinking preferences.

You will be able to assist people with regard to all aspects of their lives.  The moment you understand the way in which people think and why (the brain quadrants) you can apply it to all areas as listed below

The thinking of people affects everything they do:

• How comfortable they would be in certain careers
• Act towards people
• Do whole brain business
• Communicate with the whole brain
• Learn with your preferred quadrant
• Teach with the whole brain, so as not to miss anyone
• Solve problems, taking whole brain factors into consideration
• Make whole brain decisions
• Play and coach sport with the whole brain

The cost of the training includes:

• Full accommodation 
• All meals
• The training
• Training material
• Licensing certificate
• Stand alone version of the Neethling Brain Instrument (for SA Practitioners only)
• Your own Internet admin site to do and administer profiles
• Your first 10 profiles
• Future support and updates

Additional profiles can be bought at a nominal fee, depending on the amount you purchase. You will also receive your own administration site on the Internet, where you can assign your own clients, draw their profiles, draw group profiles, draw related jobs and do their skills and negativity profiles.  Your clients simply receive a username and password that you provide them with and they then complete the test on-line.

Once they have completed their profiles, you draw their reports and either e-mail, fax or deliver it to them.  All the personalised reports get packaged in a folder along with a whole brain information book.  When you buy profiles we send you these folders and books.

All our instruments are available in both computer-based as well as paper-based formats.  When working with larger groups, it is often easier and faster to complete the paper-based, whereas with small groups and individuals, the computer-based version works well.

Background information on the Developer:

Dr Kobus Neethling, an internationally acclaimed creative thinker and author of numerous books, began his own involvement with whole brain creativity in 1983, when he started "post-PhD" research at the University of Georgia under Paul Torrance, a world leader in the identification and development of creative thinking. Following intensive research amongst thousands of participants in the USA, South Africa, and other African countries, Dr Neethling determined that the left-brain processes as well as the right-brain processes fall into two definite categories.

Between 1988 and 1991, Dr Neethling completed the initial Neethling Brain Instrument (NBI), with both the validity and reliability levels of each quadrant measuring higher than 80. The current computerised instrument has simplified the process to such an extent that a complete brain profile can be plotted based on an individual's responses to a battery of questions.
