Public Creativity Programs

Mindwerx & Buzan Centre Public Programs

With the very best insights, tools and training, imagine what you can do!

Mindwerx Workshop ParticipantsMindwerx International and the Buzan Centre offer a range of leading edge courses, similar to our in-house blended programs, but designed to suit individuals from a variety of situations, fields, organisations etc.. 

These public programs are generally paired in half-day workshops, where the morning is an introductory workshops, while the afternoon is an advanced program that looks much more at application. 

Ideally you should participate for the full-day to get maximum value, but we understand that some people are tight for time, and have to start with an introduction program.

And to make it attractive for you to stay for the afternoon, we discount the afternoon workshop from $259 to just $99, meaning you can attend both half-day programs for just $358 - saving $160.

The aim of these creative thinking courses is to give participants a meaningful and practical look at proven creative problem solving, lateral thinking, and advanced learning methods so they can focus on the practical application of these back at work and home.  Participants will take away useful insights and skills they can use right away. 

We also offer Train-the-Trainer courses for people wishing become Certified Instructors in Mind Mapping, iMindMap software, Speed Reading, Improved Memory, Study Skills, and Mindwerx' Deliberate Creativity & Innovation programs.  These Certified Instructor programs are run by Buzan Senior Master Trainer, Jennifer Goddard and/or Mindwerx Master Trainer, Bill Jarrard.
