Using this simple technique you can learn how to create a mind map in an evening.

I’ve designed this course with lots of time-lapse video of maps being drawn to make it fast and visually engaging. A lot has been fitted into this fast paced course. All the main mind mapping techniques are covered. It would probably take a 5 hour course in real life to do the same without the time-lapse videos.

Mind map technique is simple, but takes a little practice, especially selecting keywords. There are some exercises and demonstrations to show how mind mapping works in real life. Knowing what words to put on the branches is an important mind map technique that is often overlooked and needs a little practice. Its normally what trips people up with actually using mind mapping in real life. There are two videos dedicated to this typical hurdle.

The course is full of creative mind map ideas which you can do without being an artist. Its like painting by numbers or colouring in once you know the techniques. See how you don’t need to be artistic to draw a mind map.

You will learn how to draw a mind map by doing the step by step walkthrough and draw a mind map in real time.

Mind mapping is great for revision. I will show you how a basic revision mind map can save you over 60 hours revision a year for high school, university or professional development. Revision maps need a strong grasp of finding the key words to put on the branches. This is a core focus of this course. Keywords are crucial for exam revision and successful mind map revision.

This course is the foundation for how to use mind mapping for studying. Learning mind mapping as a student is the ideal way to learn the skill. Once you have it you can use it for planning a project, business mind map and mind map brainstorming.

If your a student I’m sure you will complete this course inspired and equipped with mind map ideas that will save you time and help you learn faster.

Whole course was only about how to reduce lot of information and extract them into a mind map. But no mentions of how to use mind maps for brainstorming, project management/ideas or any other business need.

Before starting to watch this course, I felt sceptical about mind maps and their efficiency. However, after seeing the lectures, I realised how good mind maps really are. The course was above expectations! Darius is a great teacher!

The mind-mapping tool is a first for me and this beginner's course is bringing the concept together for me.

I always do mind mapping. The key take away for me were keywords, and how the main branch is drawn. In my view colouring is redundant; you don't go around with colour pens. It was quite a good course but only for beginners. But you get the best only from the basics.

It’s a good introduction to the topic, the illustrations are good, and the instructor has a great demeanor.

Darius is a phenomenal teacher, he's clear and concise and there is no waffling about or fluff/padding in the course. This is how a course should be presented. There was another course on mind-mapping that I bought on Udemy, it had a lot of reviews, however the visuals were not of quality and the presentation was too boring, and the information was just all over the place, I was maybe 2 videos in and just couldn't stand it and I am so glad I found this course instead. Worth every penny! Thank you Darius.
