COURSE DESCRIPTION
36 SESSIONS – 12 HOURS TRAINING
The Licensed Instructor Course in Mind Mapping is the highest-level certification in authentic Tony Buzan Mind Mapping. It is designed for educators, trainers, coaches, and leaders who wish to teach Mind Mapping professionally using Buzan’s brain-friendly methodology. Led by Professor Marek Kasperski, one of Tony Buzan’s closest collaborators, the course maintains the integrity of Buzan’s original vision.
Beginning with speed-reading, the course builds skills in comprehension and learning. Participants explore the science and philosophy behind Mind Mapping, including how it mirrors brain structure and integrates imagination, association, and creativity.
Core topics include:
- The definition and effectiveness of Mind Maps
- Synergy of cortical skills
- The brain’s unrealised potential
- Limitations of traditional note-taking
- The Five Laws of Mind Mapping: Branches, Keywords, Colour, Pictures, and Structure
- A key feature is the Most Important Graph (MIG), which explains memory principles such as Primacy, Recency, the Von Restorff Effect, and Mnemonics.
- Instructors also learn to teach effectively with techniques like:
- Spaced repetition and the Ideal Study Hour
- The Feynman Technique
- Exam strategies and memory optimisation
Creativity is explored through renowned tests and strategies, with Mind Maps used for problem solving and innovation.
By course end, graduates will master the creation and teaching of authentic Buzan-style Mind Maps and receive international certification as Licensed Instructors, recognised for excellence in brain-based education.
