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. You will discover a new and totally positive way to learn, using your fantastic brain 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 multi-dimensional tool, the Mind Map®.

The structured study skills taught in the BOST® Program will quite literally enhance your capabilities in leaps and bounds to:

• Prepare with confidence for study, test and examinations.
• Read more quickly and efficiently than you thought possible.
• Note-take and note-make even more effectively.
• Memorize and recall what you have learnt more effectively.
• Get into a revision mind-set but still enjoy 'time outs' to relax.
• Increase your revising capacity dramatically 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.
