Train Less, Improve More
Save time and money. Follow a simple, proven method to finally break through your plateau.
In today’s digital age, improving at chess can feel overwhelming. With endless books, courses, videos, and advice, everyone tells you something different.
Not knowing where to start, you procrastinate. Or even worse, you buy countless books and courses and study them for dozens of hours but don't see any improvements.
You are amassing knowledge, but somehow, this study time doesn't translate into your games. You spend a lot of time and money on chess, but you are stuck.
Does that sound like you?
As a former professional player with a Traumatic-Brain-Injury, I got the same or more improvement out of 3 hours daily than others got with up to 40 hours every week. I've also helped hundreds of students save time and money while accelerating their improvements.
If you follow what is taught inside Next Level Training and focus on what matters most, you, too, can improve more with less training.
It won't be easy. And it will take some time.
But it will be simple.
And it will be worth your time and energy.

“I should have found you years ago! That would have saved me a lot of money and probably would have gotten me (a lot) more ratings points!”
Gabriël“Rather than spending endless hard-earned money mindlessly buying the latest chess courses and books, save money and time by going through this course and know exactly what resources are needed to construct the perfect plan to lead you to success.”
Jeff Petersen“Two months ago I started the Next Level Training course. Result: I started OTB games with a score of 4,5 / 5. My games are more solid, I recognize more patterns (Tactics) , I am adapting quicker to a new position and most of all I am more confident during the game (I am not afraid anymore of equal positions)."”
Tom Bus“When I sit down to train now, I know exactly what I’m going to work on and I have confidence about the material. Noël has honed in on how to study chess in a way I’ve seen very few do over the years. I am no longer darting from one thing to another. I’ve never been happier with my training.”
Kalea Chapman“Next Level Training is pure gold. With the study plan I created thanks to NLT (and the confidence I gained to stick with it) I'm working on my game in the ways that matter, and playing much better chess than before.”
Steve Wollkind“I wholeheartedly recommend Next Level Training to anyone who is serious about chess. The wealth of knowledge and tips on how to improve is impressive, and I a confident it will significantly enhance my own skills.”
Michael Galow“This is a terrific course. Noël is both extremely inspirational and extremely concrete and practical in his advice. I've shopped around for years for the right chess training and the right coach, and this seems to be it.”
Mark Pekala““Next Level Training is an excellent course, with a detailed roadmap for how to set up a personalized training program, and how to study all essential aspects of chess within your training program. The course is comprehensive, and everything is very clearly and enthusiastically explained by GM Studer. It’s a very worthwhile course for chess learners at all levels!””
Santo D'Agostino“I greatly appreciated and benefitted from Noel's "narrow and focus" approach. It's good for everyone.”
Nick Vasquez“I have just finished the course, excellent content and perfectly thought through. Thank you so much for creating it Noël. The most important takeaway for me is to keep it simple and to get rid of FOMO.”

This is a video-based course. You will also find text passages to simplify, checking back for recommendations and further explanations. Additionally, you can download some checklists to make the implementation easier.
The videos are ~10 hours. If you go through everything carefully, take notes, and create your own plans, you will have around 15 hours to go through the course. That's 1 hour a day for 2 weeks, or quicker if you wish to spend more time daily.
As soon as you implement the new methods into your daily training, you will feel a difference in motivation and clarity. When you stay consistent in your training, you should feel a difference in your skills and playing strength after 30 days. From then on, the results start compounding.
