Learning Performance Seminars is an Australian program written specifically
for Australian students. It has been developed over the past twenty years by a team of educationalists
belonging to the Learning Performance Seminars network across Australia. Many on the team have a
Doctorate or Master's degrees specialising in education and psychology.
The four-day holiday version of the program has been completed by over 25,000
students Australia wide. Follow-up studies on many of these students have clearly demonstrated
the program’s effectiveness. Professor John Biggs, an educationalist who has researched student
learning over 20 years, conducted an extensive evaluation of the program and concluded that;
“…students became more positively motivated, more organised, and more meaning orientated in
their approach to study, and less inclined to use rote learning … the changes are still
maintained 18 weeks later.”
This Australian program was adapted for the U.K. and Learning Performance
Seminars is now the leading provider of study skills education in U.K. schools.
