This course offers essential support for learners who want to improve their ability to study effectively and manage their time efficiently. It begins with an introduction to the purpose and benefits of study support, helping learners identify their learning strengths and challenges while promoting a positive mindset toward academic achievement. Through guided exercises, learners create a personal learning plan tailored to their individual goals.

As the course progresses, students are introduced to proven learning strategies based on visual, auditory, and kinaesthetic styles. They explore active learning tools such as mind maps, flashcards, and summarising techniques, as well as effective note-taking and memory retention strategies. Learners build skills that enable them to process information more efficiently and apply knowledge in real academic settings.

The course also places a strong focus on time management. Learners gain practical tools to track how they use their time, set SMART goals, and build weekly study schedules that reduce procrastination and increase productivity. Techniques for creating an organised, distraction-free study environment are also included, along with tips for using study apps and digital resources to stay on track.

To support assessment readiness, learners are guided through revision planning, stress management, and how to reflect constructively on performance after tests or coursework. The final section emphasises becoming a self-directed learner, using feedback for continuous improvement, and building habits that support lifelong learning.
