"Lots of different skills and techniques were taught very well. The session was very well paced and delivered in an enthusiastic manner. Should be the sort of course delivered to undergraduates as well as staff. The facilitator was very effective and I would recommend the course to colleagues."

BrainSailing's Using and Improving Your Memory Skills seminar aims to challenge your imagination, to get you using simple memory systems and to encourage you to think about how you might apply these systems in the ‘real world’. It introduces memory methods that you can use to help focus your attention vividly on whatever it is you are trying to remember, be it numbers, names and faces, scientific formulae, language, a speech, an article or a collection of facts.
