Flying Start

Kick-start your life by learning how to learn.

No matter what you do after school, college or university, the skills you learn in this comprehensive and acclaimed programme will serve you for the rest of your life.

Flying Start

The workbook was developed particularly for senior school pupils and first-year university students. However, if you know you’re smart, but have never achieved good marks in exams … or if you’ve taken a break from studying and feel a bit rusty going back to it … or if you simply want to improve your ability to master new information and learn new skills in record time … then Flying Start is for you.

This is the first study skills manual that I have felt able to recommend unreservedly …

— Kathy Bell, Sunday Tribune

The study programme is based on the book Flying Start: The Key to Successful Study by Robin Palmer and Graham Chalmers and consists of:
  • 5 Contact sessions with learners, during which the key concepts are presented and a study plan is developed.

  • A 125-page practical workbook.

Money-back Guarantee: Provided that you comply with the programme requirements, we guarantee that you will successfully complete the next exam you do after the course. If you’re writing matric, we guarantee that you will pass with exemption.

Here are some of the topics covered:

  • Why students fail.

  • Creating a habit.

  • The six golden rules of studying.

  • The right way to study.

  • Tools of the trade.

  • Thinking, reading and writing.

  • Answering questions.

  • Lectures, seminars and tutorials.

  • Essays, reports and assignments.

  • Consolidating notes and making summaries.

  • Tests and examinations.

  • Basic principles of online learning.

I cannot see how any student of average intelligence who follows the sensible advice given … could possibly fail examinations.
