Home Page	ADVANCED LEARNING TECHNIQUES ™ (ALT ™) The Truth is that although "Advanced Learning Techniques" (ALT™) do embrace many learning technologies that have emerged during the last two centuries, most of these learning methods go back millennia, and were used by Ancient Romans and Greeks as well as during the Middle Ages. ALT™ are taught in all Academy of the 3rd Millennium™ courses, that is, in every area of Learning, namely: Assimilation, Retention, Thinking, Creativity and Action.

	The Academy of the 3rd Millennium™ teaches ALT™ More About 'Advanced Learning Techniques™' "Advanced Learning Techniques™" (ALT™) is the name given to the body of knowledge taught by The Academy of the 3rd Millennium™, a multiplicity of learning skills and psychological techniques all of which make it possible to access the predominantly untapped resources of the mind and take it to a level of peak performance. The skills are easily learnt, and, once acquired, will benefit that person for the rest of their life. Over a series of five self-improvement courses the Academy teaches all of the skills necessary for totally efficient learning and mental creativity. This 5-part programme follows the separate stages of the Learning and Action process: (A) ASSIMILATION: How to manage the INTAKE of information. This stage of the programme concentrates above all on reading, as this is the main channel for the intake of information and knowledge. (B) RETRIEVAL: How to RETAIN information that has been assimilated. The main focus of this stage of the programme is memory and the closely related skill of mind-charting, one of the more recent learning discoveries. (C) EXPLORATION: How to SEARCH the mind's uncharted territory. This stage of the programme demonstrates the power of hypnosis in the exploration of the deeper recesses of the mind, ordinarily inaccessible to normal memory. (D) ACTION: Then the programme demonstrates how the new wo/man can put all these skills to use by applying them in his/her own life and following plans of action. (E) SELF-KNOWLEDGE: Finally, the last module of the programme shows how the application of all these new techniques can lead to a deeper Knowledge of Self. "Advanced Learning Techniques™" only emerged as a "whole" body of learning in the twentieth century, though certain of the skills that it comprises have been known for several millennia. Key proponents of several aspects of the Advanced Learning Techniques™ over the past century are: Walter Pitkin : Who wrote the first ever book on Speed-Reading in 1929. Harry Lorayne : Who wrote the most ground-breaking text on mental training this century - 'Instant Mind Power' (as well as many other works) Tony Buzan : All-round mind guru, whose recent 'Mind-Map Book' has caused a revolution with its notion of Radiant Thinking. Lee Pulos : The hypnotist of self-improvement, who has enabled people to achieve their goals through his self-hypnosis programmes. Shakti Gawain : Who has taught a sceptical modern age the power of "Creative Visualization" and Anthony Robbins : The leader of the Human Potential movement, whose developments in Neuro-Associative Conditioning and Neuro-Linguistic Programming ('Awaken the Giant Within') have overhauled Practical Psychology. These only represent a handful out of the hundreds of pioneers who deserve a mention here, human beings who have worked at improving man's lot by improving the knowledge s/he has of the nature and workings of the mind.The Academy of the 3rd Millennium™ synthesizes the best techniques that have been discovered and developed over the past three millennia for attaining peak mental performance, but in particular those deve- loped over the last two centuries. In fact, this five part pro- gramme is a guide to the interior of the human mind, and for that reason it was originally called by Dr. Oersted a "Manual of Inter-ContiMental Travel". Never before have we known so much about how the mind functions, though we are only at the beginning of brand new avenues of discovery that lead further.
