Frequently asked questions

  • Where is this accreditation valid?

    The Buzan licensed certification as a trainer has global validity so you could teach Mind Mapping practitioner courses around the world.

  • What do I need for certifying customers as accredited practitioners?

    You’ll have access to the training content so you could deliver your courses using PowerPoint presentations and related materials. Moreover, the package for certifying customers as accredited practitioners includes a personalized certificate and optionally the iMindMap Ultimate software (version 11). The certification package costs $50.00 and has to be purchased in bundles of 10 units. If you want to include the software, the package costs $100.00. This is an attractive option since the price of the software alone amounts to $230 dollars per license.

  • What could I do with my accreditation?

    The instructor certification allows you to deliver Mind Mapping courses to external or internal customers and accredit participants as certified practitioners. Additionally, you could also provide consulting services accredited by the Tony Buzan Group and integrate Mind Mapping modules into your existing courses.

  • Will I be supported in lead generation?

    We have different mechanisms for supporting your lead generation efforts: You'll be listed with a profile and location on the Tony Buzan website so users can find you and get in contact for training. You'll also have the ability to put your schedule of training courses on the Tony Buzan website with links to your website or sales page. Likewise, we'll provide referrals to instructors based on queries that come to the company. Moreover, you'll have the opportunity to place articles and even advertisements on the TB website to attract business.

  • Does the certification need to be renewed?

    The certification ought to be renewed every 12 months to continue as part of the official list of worldwide instructors and be able to certify practitioners with accredited courses. The renewal, which accounts for $300 per year, also includes the updating of your software license (to the latest version), access to training and other exclusive content, and your participation in the monthly webinars and other events (such as the annual TBLI summit) at no further cost. The renewal fee could be exempted for a given year if you take a specialization course such as Mind Mapping for Innovation or Mind Mapping for project management during that year.

  • How could I participate in Buzan-led projects?

    Buzan US and TBG need trainers, tutors, and consultants for their projects—mainly tutoring for online courses and consulting services. Therefore, based on geography, specialization and the instructors' internal rating system (based on customer feedback) we’ll assign projects to you and your peers.

  • What is the internal rating system and how does it work?

    Each accredited course given by you will provide an electronic feedback form (link) for customers to fill out at the end of the training. This system will not be published and/or shared with any other party aside from the instructor. The system will allow us to identify quality gaps and support instructors in improving their course delivery. Our objective is for you to become a world-class instructor who enables our vision: Creating a Mentally Literate World.
