QUEST Study Skills Courses ....
a fresh new look
What's changed
For over a decade, QUEST Study Skills has helped high-school students feel more organised, confident, and calm about their study. These students have learned the QUEST approach through small group workshops, in-school programs, and 1:1 online coaching.Â
Back then, these sessions were highly personalised, interactive, and hands-on, and they helped students build real skills they could take into every subject.
As QUEST has grown, so has the way students learn. So in 2025-2026, QUEST Study Skills is undergoing a full revamp. This includes brand-new illustrations, updated strategies, and a much more engaging online learning experience.
Â
What’s coming in 2026?Â
A complete library of courses designed to support every type of student.
The QUEST Study Skills Framework is built on the same principles we've used for years, but now in a way that fits how students learn today. Start with Level 1 to understand how effective studying works, then move to Level 2 to put it into practice. Or jump into our planning course to get organised right away.
Here's a preview of what's on the way...

QUEST Study Skills Framework - Level 1
Understanding how studying actually works
Most of us study hard but don't see the results we want. That's because we've never been taught how studying actually works. Level 1 helps us understand what makes studying effective before we waste time on tactics that don't work.
In this course, you'll learn:
- Why some study methods fail and others succeed
- The five-step QUEST framework (Q-U-E-S-T)
- How to build study awareness across all subjects
- Why understanding comes before application
This is a conceptual course. We're building awareness here. The practical strategies come in Level 2.
Best for: Students new to QUEST, anyone feeling stuck with current study methods, or preparing for senior years
Duration: ~2-3 hours across 6 modules

QUEST Study Skills Framework - Level 2
Putting the framework into practice
Recommended: Complete Level 1 first
We understand the QUEST framework now. We know why some methods work and others don't. Level 2 gives us the practical tools to implement each step of QUEST with specific, proven strategies.
In this course, you'll learn:
- How to create effective notes from all sources
- How to build mind maps and visual study materials
- How to use active recall and revision techniques
- How to prepare for exams with confidence
- How to customise strategies for different subjects
This is an application course. We'll learn specific techniques and get guided practice.
Best for: Students who've completed Level 1 or have a strong understanding of active study principles
Duration: TBD

60 Days of Better Study Planning
Turn your planners into a routine that actually works 🩵
Can be taken anytime - standalone or alongside QUEST courses
Having a planner is one thing. Actually using it consistently is another. This course shows us how to turn the QUEST planner templates into a working routine that keeps us organised all term long.
In this course, you'll learn:
- How to plan your week in a way that makes sense
- How to map out monthly goals without stress
- How to organise a full term without losing track
- How to manage projects step-by-step
This is a tactical course focused entirely on planning systems. It complements QUEST but can be taken independently.
Best for: Anyone struggling with planning and time management, or users of QUEST planner templates
Duration: ~60 days of implementation (try it for a whole term)

What students have said
Angela, Year 10
"I learned new techniques that I may apply within my school work and assignments. The most helpful part was probably the part where we learnt about how we should tackle certain problems and the tips we could use."
Andy, Year 11
"It's great! I've learned a lot and now I finally know how to manage myself properly... Quest Study Skills did help me a lot, especially in the part where we should manage our time well."
Jasmine, Year 10
"I usually get bad grades but after doing the study skills I have noticed that my grades have changed from C-D to A-B. I manage my time and I don't need to stress over not finishing my assignments on time."
