FAQ's - Mind Mapping Training
What is Mind Mapping?
Mind Maps® are a system for taking and making notes using key words, colour, pictures, patterns and associations. The system was developed, initially for students, over twenty-five years ago and is now used by millions of people throughout the world. Mind Maps mirror the way the brain works which is why they are so easy to use and yet so profoundly effective.
