Buzan Study Skills Workshop (schools, colleges, universities/tafes)
This one-day program explores the unique BOST® (Buzan Organic Study Technique) which was designed specifically by Tony Buzan to improve any student's capabilities to prepare for dreaded examinations. Students will discover a new and totally postive way to learn, using their fantastic brains and mind power.
BOST® has been honed from 35 years' experience in the field of study skills, brain power, recall after learning, Radiant Thinking® techniques, concentration, and the mutli-dimenional tool; the Mind Map®.
The structured study skills taught in the BOST® Program will quite literally enhance students' capabilities in leaps and bounds to:
- Prepare with confidence for study, test and examinations.
- Read more quickly and efficiently than thought possible.
- Note-take and note-make even more effectively.
- Memorize and recall what has beenlearnt more effectively.
- Get into a revision mind-set but still enjoy 'time outs' to relax.
- Deramatically increase revising capacity using Mind Maps® (described as 'the Swiss army knife of the brain').
Your BOST Program facilitator will be Will Naicker who has trained with Tony Buzan and is a Buzan Licensed Instructor.
