The courses can be combined with a specific consulting add-on day(s) with MindMapUSA playing a facilitating role using the new techniques learned in the course. Costs would be specific to the scope of work required including preparation and follow-up requirements.

MindMapUSA courses follow an instructional design that provides for multiple learning approaches to ensure that competence is achieved in the course objectives. The Competence Framework is the combination of the three components of Competence, namely: Knowledge, Skills and Experience.
Each of the courses and workshops provided by MindMapUSA includes a defined body of knowledge that is being imparted; clearly defined sets of skills that will be imparted supported by the knowledge; and time to gain experience (practice and absorb) in using the skills. We firmly believe that maximum adoption and change will occur if there is a robust program of follow up to the training to ensure that opportunity to repeat and apply the skills and knowledge gained is created.
MindMapUSA can provide support through coaching and consulting services to provide that reinforcement directly, or can work with the organizations leadership and learning and development staff to design a program they can deliver.
