ABOUT THIS COURSE

The aim of the course is to introduce you to Cognition, Metacognition and Mindfulness. These processes and concepts are critically important, not just for you but also for others around you who you may help on your journey through life.

We at Enjoy Online Courses are wholly committed and dedicated to lifelong learning and we already know that you are too due to the very fact that you’re taking this course!

So, this course is, ultimately, for anyone who wants to learn better, including those who may want to support others in their learning (for example, children or other relatives, or even work colleagues). It’s for those who want to develop their understanding of how the mind works and how it processes information.
