Mind Mapping (ON-DEMAND) – Beyond Foundation Course

COURSE DESCRIPTION

18 SESSIONS – 4 HOURS 41 MINUTES TRAINING

The Mind Map Beyond Foundation Course is an advanced program designed to elevate your Mind Mapping skills by integrating memory techniques, creative thinking strategies, and neuroscience. Building on core knowledge, this course is ideal for students, teachers, coaches, and memory enthusiasts seeking deeper application of authentic Buzan-style Mind Mapping.

Led by Professor Marek Kasperski, long-time friend and collaborator of Tony Buzan, the course offers rare insights into the thinking behind the original Buzan method. It begins with Speed-Reading and expands into advanced concepts such as imagination, association, and creativity, essential for mastering Mind Mapping.

A key component is The Most Important Graph (MIG), a visual model of how memory works. Participants learn how to apply memory-enhancing principles like Primacy, Recency, Von Restorff, Association, and Mnemonics within their Mind Maps to improve recall and learning.

The course also revisits the Five Laws of Mind Mapping, Branches, Keywords, Colour, Pictures, and Structure, through practical exercises, detailed instruction, and a final Mind Map checklist to ensure accuracy and quality. Topics like image design, linking, and colour psychology are explored to refine your technique.

By the end, learners will confidently create full Buzan-style Mind Maps and apply them in education, coaching, or high-performance contexts, unlocking greater creativity, better memory, and smarter thinking.
