Waar vindt de incompany training Mindmappen plaats?
Wherever suits you: at your office, at one of our training locations or online. You also choose the date.
Can the content be tailored to our organisation?
Yes. Before the course we discuss with you what the group can already do, where things go wrong in practice and what should be different afterwards. The trainer uses examples and exercises from your own work.
How large can the group be?
That depends on the course. For a skills course we prefer to work with a small group, so that everyone can really practise. If more people are involved, we schedule several groups or set up a fixed programme.
Wat kost Mindmappen incompany?
You get a fixed price for the whole group, in a tailored quotation. For a group this works out cheaper than registering everyone individually. For comparison: a place on the scheduled course costs EUR 625,- excl. VAT per participant.
Can the course be delivered in English?
Yes. For in-company courses we deliver the training in the language of your choice, Dutch or English. Mention it in your request.
Do participants receive a certificate?
Yes, every participant receives a certificate of attendance afterwards.
How do I request a quote?
Via the quote form: state the course, the number of participants and roughly where and when you would like it. An adviser will then contact you.

How does the Mindmapping course at Learnit work?

When should you choose a classroom Mind Mapping course instead of a YouTube tutorial or a free app such as XMind?
A YouTube tutorial or a free tool such as XMind, MindMeister or Miro will show you the technique, but gives you no feedback on your own mind maps. You choose Learnit's classroom Mind Mapping course if you want to change the way you think in a structural way, rather than simply learning to operate a tool. During the course day you are given theory on how the brain works, you compare your mind maps with those of fellow participants and you work under the guidance of a specialist in learning processes and memory. That gives you immediate correction of pitfalls, something self-study does not offer. Choose self-study if you only want to explore the software. Choose the classroom course if you want to use mind mapping for complex work processes, study or decision-making.
What is the difference between learning mind mapping in a classroom course and picking it up yourself from a book or online tutorial?
A book or YouTube video explains the technique, but you get no feedback on your own mind maps. That is exactly where the gain lies. During Learnit's classroom Mind Mapping course you work on practical assignments and compare your mind maps directly with those of fellow participants. This shows you where you lose structure, stay too text-based or miss branches. The trainer specialises in learning processes and memory and can explain why a particular approach does or does not work for your brain. Self-study is suitable if you only want to know the basics. For anyone who really wants to use mind mapping for complex information, project planning or brainstorming sessions, practising in a classroom with direct correction delivers more than a tutorial.
How quickly can I actually apply mind mapping in my work after this course?
You can apply mind mapping straight after the course day. The classroom course is built around practical assignments in which you immediately practise with your own work or study questions. By the end of the day you will have created several mind maps yourself and received feedback from the trainer and fellow participants. For straightforward applications, such as meeting minutes, brainstorming and project planning, the method works right away. For more complex applications, such as structuring a large knowledge domain or a multi-year plan, you will usually need two to four weeks of regular practice before it really flows. The course gives you the basic principles, well-known methods and insight into how the brain works; you then build up the routine yourself by using mind mapping consistently.
