Get Set is a short but popular study skills course. This course is offered free to all students who have enrolled in a programme at BTI. It is an optional course, and is designed to help those who may be nervous about studying at tertiary level by providing skills and practice for many of the tasks required in BTI programmes. Although it is targeted at year one students who are about to embark on their studies, it is also available to students at any year level who wish to brush up on their study skills. If it has been a while since you left school, or if you are anxious about how you will cope with writing essays or understanding the APA referencing system, it is well-worth coming to Get Set. An important side-effect of the course is that it provides an opportunity to connect with other students who are in a similar situation. Topics covered include:

• Writing essays
• Referencing
• Paraphrasing
• Critical reading
• Note-taking
• Time management.
