Our KMap is the mainstay of our courses and forms a primary part of all KEProcess and KESchool systems. KMaps are a visual representation of knowledge that utilizes right brain elements allowing near perfect recall of their contents. They are created using a very special and highly refined process that you can learn with us by taking our courses. CAKE® stands for Computer Aided Knowledge Engineering and is a highly specialized use of computer software to allow one to create exceptional KMaps that abound with colour, rhythm, spatial awareness, imagination, daydreaming, colour, dimension and gestalt (the ability to form a 'whole' picture or high level view of a concept). KMaps can be created manually and indeed this is the way we teach you to draw them initially. Not all of us have computers nor do we have them with us at all times. Sometimes also it is not appropriate to have a computer with us or we may want to concentrate on what someone is saying rather than on the KMap we are drawing. That is why we teach manual KMapping. But, to have dynamic KMaps that we can alter and add to or that have fancy graphic elements like drop shadows, layered and grouped elements we have to resort to computers. What emerges is a KMap that is
KREST® stands for Knowledge Re-Engineering Study Technique. It is a technique that we developed over 30 years ago when our founder used it to get the highest grade ever in the East African Advanced Certificate of Education and later to breeze through 49 university courses and 6 post uni qualifications. It is first a study technique. It takes knowledge that is transmitted usually in text form and RE-engineers it into a visual representation using the KMap alluded to above. Using the two step process our students find that they have a structure and framework into which they can insert their knowledge. By using the technique students find that they can spend an hour studying a highly technical chapter in a book (like an 'A' Levels physiscs text) and can come away from that hour with 100% recall of the material studied. Even better, they find that this recall then last a lifetime if they observe some simple memory refresh rules that are also part of our courses.
