Learn Mind Mapping from One of the World’s Leading Experts

Whether you are discovering Mind Mapping for the very first time or aspiring to become an officially licensed Tony Buzan instructor, our comprehensive learning pathway provides a course for every stage of your journey.

Led by Professor Marek Kasperski, one of the world’s foremost authorities on Mind Mapping and a close friend and colleague of Tony Buzan, these courses teach authentic Buzan Mind Mapping techniques exactly as they were intended. Each course combines proven learning strategies, practical exercises, and brain-based science to help you think more clearly, remember more effectively, and unlock your creative potential.


Introduction to Mind Mapping

Perfect for complete beginners, this course provides a practical and inspiring introduction to authentic Mind Mapping.

You’ll discover what a Mind Map is, why it works so effectively, and how imagination, association, and creativity combine to improve learning, memory, and thinking. Through engaging lessons and practical exercises, you’ll master the Five Fundamental Laws of Mind Mapping and learn how to create clear, colourful, and memorable Mind Maps from start to finish.

By the end of the course, you’ll have the confidence to use Mind Mapping for study, work, planning, and everyday life.


Mind Mapping for Kids

Designed especially for young learners, this fun and interactive course helps children develop powerful thinking and learning skills through authentic Mind Mapping.

Children learn how their brains work, why traditional study methods can be difficult, and how Mind Maps make learning enjoyable and memorable. Through guided activities they discover keywords, branches, colour, pictures, structure, and the Five Laws of Mind Mapping while developing confidence, creativity, and better study habits.

The course also introduces effective revision and exam preparation techniques, giving children valuable skills that will benefit them throughout their education.


Mind Mapping Practitioner

For students who already understand the basics, the Practitioner course develops greater confidence, skill, and practical application.

Participants explore why Mind Mapping is naturally aligned with the way the brain processes information and why traditional note-taking often limits learning. The course expands on the Five Laws through extensive practical exercises while introducing productivity strategies, memory techniques, spaced review, and effective exam preparation.

Graduates leave with the ability to create well-structured, engaging Mind Maps for education, business, problem-solving, planning, and personal development.


Mind Mapping Expert

The Expert course is designed for educators, professionals, and experienced Mind Mappers who wish to master authentic Tony Buzan techniques and understand the science that makes them so effective.

This advanced programme explores how Mind Maps reflect natural brain function, stimulate cortical synergy, and significantly enhance creativity, memory, and understanding. Participants strengthen advanced thinking skills through challenging practical exercises, including Gestalt visual thinking, the Paperclip Test, and other creativity techniques developed from Tony Buzan’s work.

This course represents the highest level of practical Mind Mapping expertise before instructor certification.


Tony Buzan Licensed Instructor

For those who wish to teach authentic Mind Mapping professionally, the Tony Buzan Licensed Instructor programme provides the highest level of training and certification.

Building upon the Expert programme, this comprehensive course explores the complete philosophy, theory, and educational principles developed by Tony Buzan. Students learn not only how to create exceptional Mind Maps but also how to confidently teach Mind Mapping to individuals, schools, universities, and organisations around the world.

Successful graduates become officially recognised Tony Buzan Licensed Instructors and are offered the opportunity to have their training services promoted through the official Tony Buzan website.

Instructor Assessments

To receive certification, students complete two practical assessments:

  • Teaching Assessment – Deliver a 10–15 minute online presentation on a Mind Mapping topic via Zoom. Students receive their topic well in advance, allowing ample time to prepare and practise. If necessary, a second opportunity is provided.
  • Mind Mapping Assessment – Produce a Mind Map on an assigned topic. The topic is provided before the course concludes, and the completed Mind Map is submitted within two days for evaluation.

These assessments ensure every licensed instructor possesses both excellent Mind Mapping skills and the confidence to teach others professionally.
