With accredited trainers in over 40 countries around the globe, our ThinkBuzan Licensed Instructor courses inspire creative thinking and innovation together with a unique neworking opportunity. Attendees from all four corners of the world share experiences and fresh ideas.
Many people ask us what they can expect from our ThinkBuzan Licensed Instructor (TLI) course – what better way to answer this than by letting them see for themselves?
Take a look at our video highlights from the latest TLI course held in the home city of ThinkBuzan, Cardiff, UK. Hear from the TLI graduates themselves as they share what they took away from the course, along with clips of Chris Griffiths presenting his new philosophy ‘GRASP The Solution’ and Tony Buzan’s inspiring explanation of where Mind Mapping originated from:
The last two months have been bustling on the training front at ThinkBuzan. As we grow our training portfolio and activity, we are creating more and more mental literacy champions across the globe. The calibur of delegates at the TLI (ThinkBuzan Licensed Instructor) courses couldn’t be more impressive and we know they will be invaluable partners in our mission to get the world thinking better.
Our ThinkBuzan Licensed Instructor Pathway in Orlando last month was a phenomenal success. The group ranged from UN advisors to US Navy Admirals, from Budapest to Milwaukee. Intelligent, creative, quick off the mark and one of the warmest groups of people we have ever worked with.
The newly qualified TLIs
Another successful ThinkBuzan Licensed Instructor Pathway (TLI) came to an end last week; the second to be held on the sunny shores of Dubai. Tony Buzan joined the group to teach a dynamic afternoon session and join the TLI group for dinner, having flown in from a month-long retreat in Kenya working on new books (more on that to come when Tony shares his travel stories….). We thought we would share some visual highlights and feedback from our new TLIs.
“Learning about the brain from Tony Buzan and Chris Griffiths and team! Does it get better than this?”
Dharmendra Rai, Training Consultant, India
The TLI courses have gone from strength to strength, with the feedback from this latest one showing a 97% average rating for Content, Course Leaders and Facilities, from the attendees.
“A well constructed course presented with enthusiasm.”
Gordon Smith, Training Consultant, South Africa
The TLI dinner cruise on the Bateaux Dubai was an excellent opportunity for the course leaders and attendees to swap stories and take in stunning, panoramic views of the city at night. Tony was also present to contribute his own experiences and find out more about the new additions to the global ThinkBuzan family.
“Looking forward to putting it all into practise. Very inspiring and insightful.”
Alexandra Garton, Nurse
The Dubai TLIs were an incredibly creative and intelligent group and we can’t wait to see what they do next. Our ThinkBuzan family is expanding rapidly and with the next course in Florida just around the corner, these are exciting times.
“ThinkBuzan does not walk the talk – it swaggers it!”
Dharmendra Rai, Training Consultant, India

Last week saw the first ThinkBuzan Licensed Instructor (TLI) course to be held in London. Gracing the elegant streets of Mayfair, the sold out course took place over 4 days at the Hilton on Park Lane Hotel. Doubling up as the debut of iMindMap 5, a heady mixture of nerves and excitement could be felt at ThinkBuzan in the days running up to the course!
We had an excellent mix of attendees in London, with some from educational and lecturing backgrounds, civil engineering, business, tourism and even a representative from Sony. The dynamic group gave colour and meaning to the theory being taught by offering insights and examples from their own professions.
When asked to provide feedback on the course across all areas, from content and course leaders, to the venue facilities, the response was enthusiastically positive with an average rating of 96%!
“I think the impact of those four days will stay with us all and transform how we work in the future. It was a real pleasure to meet you and having the opportunity to work alongside like-minded people was a breath of fresh air.”
Sue Baker, Gifted and Talented Coordinator
The TLI covered a breadth of topics over the 4 days, from Chris Griffiths on the impact of technology on thinking, to generating great ideas. Tony got the course off to a characteristically rousing start on the first morning, introducing Mind Mapping, creativity and the brain’s potential. The group were also given the chance to ask Tony any questions they had in a lively Q & A session.
“Excellent personable team – demonstrated a depth of knowledge. Thank you very much for all your teaching, support and humour.”
Fiona Stephen, Nutrition Consultant
An internationally renowned speaker, Tony spends the majority of his time globe trotting – so we were very lucky to pin him down long enough to open the TLI course in London and let the new class of TLIs learn from the master. He will also be attending the TLI in Dubai next month, for any of you attending the next course, fresh from a month in Kenya working on his new books.
“What I learned from Tony, Chris, Emily and Owen, and in fact everyone else, has formed a very inspirational, positive place in my developing mind. I look forward to drawing on that resource, on that seed of wisdom, and nurturing it.”
Carl Peters, English-Trainer.com
The TLI group had the advantage of being the first ever to get trained and accredited on iMindMap 5. Whilst still in its Beta stage, the group got to really explore the software and loved the new features – particularly 3D View and SmartLayout.
We also had guest speakers as a special treat for London. Henry Toi, from Buzan Centres Asia, gave a talk on Mind Mapping within Education, and Simon Pearson from Puzzlebox Potential generously shared his own story and experiences of Mind Mapping.
“TLI was a wonderful week and a life changing experience.”
Simon Pearson, Puzzlebox Potential
A truly interactive experience, the TLI course gets the group contributing and applying the skills learnt throughout – and this doesn’t just apply to mental challenges…
“The TLI course is not only learning and meeting fantastic people. It’s also fun!”
Oriol Marimón-Clos, co-founder of 3 Day Startups
Our newly graduated class of ThinkBuzan Licensed Instructors are eager and motivated to get back to their varied careers and applying the knowledge and skills they have acquired to transform the way they and their colleagues work. As Sue baker said, it ‘gave me so many ideas to develop’.
As accredited trainers they can also now run their own courses on applied innovation and iMindMap 5. This will definitely not be the last you here from our new TLIs who have an exciting arsenal of plans about to be put in motion. From transforming the face of education in Britain and Oman, to building communication networks in Africa, the ambitions of a ThinkBuzan Licensed Instructor may be varied but share a drive to change and innovate.
“I would like to thank you all for a unique experience in terms of learning and understanding the TLI mission.”
Nisha Sood, Education in Oman
We would like to thank the new TLIs for being one of the most dynamic and inspiring groups that we have worked with and we look forward to a rewarding relationship with them going forward.
