Other information

All aboard The Brain Train! Ready to keep your cognitive engine running at peak performance? This dynamic course is specially designed for lifelong learners looking to stay on track, challenge their minds and keep their mental gears sharp.
This journey is not about the destination. It’s all about taking in the scenery, enjoying the steep climbs and cruising through the valleys.
Whether you feel like a bullet train or a charming old rattler, get on board as we explore powerful mnemonic tools to upgrade your memory and expand your general knowledge.
Every week you will fuel your engine with lively quizzing, interactive activities and high-spirited camaraderie in every carriage. To keep your
momentum going between stations, you’ll even get a little “take-home track work” to practice at your own pace. Whether you want to sharpen your daily recall or just enjoy a first-class mental workout with like-minded travellers, this is your ticket to a brighter, more active mind.
Spaces are limited—clear the tracks and secure your seat today.

TUTOR: Helen has offered various courses at the U3A including memory tools and building general knowledge. She enjoys helping others to learn new skills through interactive, bright and colourful presentations.
Helen taught memory skills for a number of years at Holmesglen, the CAE, schools and private businesses. She has a real passion for memory techniques and applying them to general knowledge

How to Enrol

On-line: after bookings have opened

On-line enrolments are preferred as this significantly reduces the amount of back-office work for our volunteers.

  • Login to the U3APP.org.au website.
  • Go to the Courses & Enrolling page.
  • Scroll down to find the course that you are interested in.
  • Does the course have spaces available?
    • Click on the course name to go to the booking page.
    • Click on “Book for this course or event”.
    • You will receive a confirmation email.  Please check your Junk/Spam folders as these automatically-generated emails often finish up there.
  • OR is the course shown as FULL?
    • Click on WAITLIST.

Paper Enrolment Form: before bookings open for First Semester

  • Obtain a paper Enrolment Form either from the Office or by printing an online copy available here.
  • Complete the paper Enrolment Form and submit it to the Office.

The start date for acceptance of paper Enrolment Forms for first semester is published on the U3APP website and in the e-Bulletin. Enrolment Forms received before this date are treated as though they had been received on the start date (ie there is no advantage to be gained by submitting early). On the start date and thereafter, paper Enrolment Forms are numbered in order of receipt.  Paper Enrolment forms are processed by U3APP volunteers on the same day as on-line bookings.

If your enrolment is successful, you will receive a confirmation email.  Please check your Junk/Spam folders as these automatically-generated emails often finish up there.

If your enrolment is unsuccessful,  you will receive an email telling you that you have been waitlisted.

Via the Office: after bookings have opened

  • Contact the office in person, or by email or phone.
