Overview
Unlock the incredible powers of your mind. Accelerated learning is
possibly the most fundamental and powerful skill required in order to
succeed in today’s society. This course will equip you with the tools to
thrive in today’s climate of change and enable you to look with
confidence to the challenges that tomorrow’s society will inevitably
throw at you.
Put simply, ‘accelerated learning’ is a set of techniques that enables
rapid and effective learning. These have been made possible by
understanding how the brain works and, surprisingly, this vital
knowledge has only been acquired in the latter half of this century. The
principles governing accelerated learning are based on how the different
parts of the brain interact with each other and acknowledge the multiple
intelligence’s that exist and how each is called into play. Only after
understanding this can we begin to appreciate our own limitless
strengths and unleash the awesome capabilities of our brains. This
course should be the precursor to nearly all other training programmes
to maximise their effectiveness by enhancing retention and more
efficient use of the skills and knowledge to be acquired.
Course Objectives
Learning To Learn
Preparation is vital to any task. To enable effective learning to take
place painlessly, you must first prepare the mind. Accelerated learning
techniques will show you how to gather information, without overload,
sifting important from superfluous information. You will be taught the
unique M.A.S.T.E.R. system which will effectively enable you to
fearlessly approach all future learning.
Mind Mapping
An invaluable device developed by Tony Buzan for learning, retaining,
recalling and applying information it is designed to use the whole
brain. It will strengthen or develop your strategic thinking and
problem-solving skills. Indeed, mind mapping is such a powerful tool
that it can revolutionise your complete approach to work and life,
allowing you to adapt a more dynamic, proactive approach to life and
enhance your creativity.
Speed Reading
You will learn the technique of speed reading, governed by understanding
how the eye interacts with the brain, recognising memory rhythms and
adapting your reading speed for different reading matter. You will be
equipped with the skills to enable you to read up to 2000 words or more
per minute
Increased Memory Power
The belief that memory worsens with age is a fallacy. In fact, the
memory is like a muscle; the more it is used, the better it gets. And
vice versa. You will learn how to utilise your natural learning style to
ease memory recall. The average person loses 80% of what is learnt
within 24 hours, because it is not learned correctly. You will learn the
differing techniques and systems available to improve memory skills, to
ensure that facts learned are locked into long term memory.
Recognition and Use of Multi-intelligences
Intelligence is not fixed. A person can excel in one situation,
displaying impressive intelligence and yet appear at a complete loss in
another situation. Intelligence is a set of abilities and skills applied
in a given context. You will learn about the nine intelligence’s and
recognise your own natural intelligence. You will then learn the tools
that can develop your intelligence ‘type’ to its full potential. You
will also learn how to consciously exploit your full range of
intelligences; a technique that ensures balanced learning, and the
ability to think in new and different ways.
Use of Music
You will learn how music can mimic the brain’s wavelength when it is in
the receptive state for learning. Listening to music that you enjoy is
an uplifting experience, harmonising body and soul. It is an invaluable
tool for easing new information into your long-term memory effortlessly.
We know that the left half of the brain relates to music’s rhythm and
sounds and the right side identifies with the textures of each sound and
thus learning new words or information against a set musical pattern
unites left brain activity (words) and right brain activity (music).
