Since 2001, Elevate has been transforming the way study skills programs are run across Australia. Drawing upon over 20 years of research into the habits of the country’s top students, Elevate's high impact seminars & workshops help students improve their study techniques, increase motivation, build confidence, and lift exam performance.
Elevate’s reputation for achieving behavioural change has led the company to become an international leader in education, working with over 1500 schools and 350,000 students in the UK, USA, South Africa and Singapore.
Bespoke programs for your school
The old study skills day is dead! Elevate runs short-sharp workshops spaced strategically across the year. Each session is tailored to the needs of your students, ensuring that it is highly relevant to your school. By spacing sessions across the year, schools ensure that students are introduced to skills at the time when they are most likely to use them.

Young presenters students can relate to
Avoid your study skills programs becoming a bore! Elevate uses young presenters who have recently faced and aced high school. Through speaking the students’ language they bring a level of engagement to what can be a dry topic, and by drawing on their own personal stories and experiences, they give the skills an unmatchable immediacy.

Post Seminar Resources
Most study skills workshops are like a sugar hit: great in the short-term but with no lasting impact. The reality is that study skills, like any other life skill, are built through repetition and review. So Elevate provides schools and subject teachers with a range of resources and guidance to integrate the skills into the classroom, ensuring that students are still benefiting from the workshops months later.

Digital Resources
Every student can connect with Elevate’s online learning community, where they can access a range of resources that they will actually use! This includes practice questions, exam walk-through videos, study and subject tips from former top students, exam preparation courses and more.

Parent & Staff Training
Make sure the study skills message is integrated into the school community! Elevate’s parent seminars provide your parent body with the ability to effectively assist their children without crossing the line and becoming the enemy.
Elevate’s staff seminars ensure that your school’s teaching staff are aware of the skills that have been covered with their students, as well as global best practice for reinforcing each skill in the classroom.

Accountable, Researched, Measurable
Make sure you actually get results and return on investment! Elevate uses a system called Results Tracker to measure the level of behavioural change achieved by each program. This data is compiled into a user friendly report that clearly documents the degree to which students have adopted and used each skill from the seminar, so that you can ensure you are getting value for money.

What people are saying
“I think you have the mixture right. The young, well trained presenter, was the key to the whole thing. The way she can connect to the students ensures that the message gets across to all levels. Young presenter and short session is the perfect mix for students of this age”
- Damien – Senior School Coordinator, Aldridge State High School
What people are saying
"The direct application of these rules means that the whole program is rewarding almost instantaneously. It’s actually motivating!"
- Student, Presbyterian Ladies’ College
What people are saying
"First time management seminar I have got anything out of. Made us confront the things we were all thinking but were afraid to admit. Rate it very highly."
- Student, Carmel College
What people are saying
‘We really enjoyed the Grade 12 Finishing Line today - the topics discussed were very relevant to our students right now especially the wellbeing and general holistic tips that the presenters provided. The presenters did a fantastic job and gave the students simple tips for keeping on track for study and real life situations that the students can relate to.’
- Teacher, Parklands Christian College
What people are saying
“Adam’s presentation to senior school staff was most impressive. He was clear, engaging, energetic and spoke with conviction. He readily answered questions with sound responses and managed to win over the majority of staff... teachers had been prompted to reflect on current practice and also identify specific aspects of the Elevate message we can incorporate more deliberately in our classes.”
- Teacher, Carey Baptist Grammar School
