Pump up the Volume ™ - A pre-exam confidence and memory booster
Pump up the Volume™ was created to help students prepare for and pass their exams. There are four main objectives within the course: Instil a 'healthy' fear of failure Reduce stress Raise confidence and self-esteemShow how anyone can assimilate and recall lots of knowledge For many young people especially those who have low academic expectations, study skills or revision techniques on their own are no good. This is because these young people, first, need social, emotional and motivational interventions to increase their confidence and esteem levels. Pump up the Volume™ offers both study skills and social, emotional and motivational interventions. It incorporates the following: Why Education is important to Your Future. This part of the course paints a bleak future for those who will leave school with low or no qualifications. It is a form of 'negative' motivation that is intended to make students sit up and think about their future. It also highlightsthe benefits of leaving school with good qualifications especially the relationship between education and greater choice of career paths. Accelerated Learning Techniques. This part of the course shows students how they can memorise and recall many items of information over a short period of time using visualisation. On average most young people can memorise from 50 to 100 bits of information, chronologically, in approximately 1 hour.

Pump up the Volume™ is presented by Tom Hendry whose background includes children and foster homes, father in prison, mother on benefit, leaving school with no qualifications and doing dead-end jobs for the first few years of his workinglife.
