What are Study Skills
Study skills are the skills you need to enable you to study and learn efficiently – they are an important set of transferable life skills.
Our pages (see the link below) provide generic study skills advice – appropriate to learners across all disciplines and in different life circumstances: employed students, those returning to education later in life, those engaged in professional development and anybody who wants to learn how to learn effectively.
We are constantly being asked to provide guidance to our students in how to take an effective approach to their studies and learning, and have now produced this series of seperate pages that enable you to 'dip in and dip out' of the areas you need help with. Please do not look at this website and think you have to read/review it from start to finish (unless you really want to?) - it is simply an aid to help you in areas where you need guidance i.e. answering multiple choice questions or how to write longer answers or an essay. It also provides you with information on what type of learner you are and as a result what is the best approach for you to study.
Finally there is a section on looking after you, and your mental health as an important overview on adjusting to the balance of work and study, or studying 'whilst everything else is still happening'.
Key points about study skills:
Study skills relate closely to the type of skills that employers look for.

We are always striving to do our best and provide the best service to you, our learners, as we can.
If you seen any errors on this site, or any errors in the learning materials then please details these and send them to:
PMIqualifications@pensions-pmi.org.uk
We will endeavour to rectify them as quickly as possible, and will send you an email when they have been.
