 How Is The Program Structured?

For your convenience, you can choose between two formats each of which covers the same material, whether done online or face-to-face:

  OPTION A: 1 Day Program. Delivered in 1 day, usually from 9am to 4.30pm, start time flexible. Perfect if you want to cover all the material in the shortest possible time and in just one go.

  OPTION B: 2 Session Program. Delivered in two 4 hour sessions, ideally one week apart. Ideal if you find two shorter, separate sessions more convenient.

With both options, the program is broken up in to a number of short modules each of which covers one or several key strategies or techniques. These progressively build on each other and regular short breaks are taken to maintain attention and focus. In this way, it is possible to easily absorb and learn the techniques covered whether done in one go or two shorter, separate sessions.

 How Is The Program Delivered?

If you live in Sydney or Lismore, this Program can be done face-to-face at Gloo in Rozelle or North Lismore. It can also be delivered directly in your home within the Sydney metropolitan and Lismore areas at no extra charge, if done in one session.

Zoom The Program can also be done from the comfort and convenience of your home using Zoom. See the FAQ below for more details.

4. Is There Any Difference Between Online And Face-To-Face Programs?

Both options are live, one to one training and cover exactly the same ideas, techniques and content. Some people prefer to learn face-to-face in the same room and so this is a good choice if you are based in (or can travel to) Sydney or Lismore. Online Programs offer more flexibility in terms of scheduling and can also save on travel time and costs. Both options work well, cover the same material and achieve the same results.

5. Is It Possible To Take The Program With Someone Else?

Yes, you can take this program with up to two additional people at the same time. The cost for each additional person is $200 including GST. So if you take the 1 Day Program at the current special rate with a friend or colleague the total cost is $695 + $200 = $895, equivalent to c$450 each, a saving of over $400 per person compared to the normal individual 1 Day Program price.

6. Is This Program Suitable For Students?

Learning how to study effectively is crucial to academic success. For this reason, we offer separate 1 To 1 Programs specifically tailored to the needs of students:
