What is PQ Academy?
PQ Academy is Performance Intelligence’s digital learning and reinforcement platform for organisations. It brings together assessment, structured courses, practical challenges and an on-demand library of performance resources in one place.
The PQ Index and online courses are its core structured components. The PQ Index helps participants understand the physical and psychological foundations affecting their performance. The courses then turn insight into practical skills, habits and repeatable behaviours.
Beyond formal learning, participants can access 21-day challenges, expert videos, movement and recovery exercises, breathing techniques, routines, recipes and practical tools designed for use in the flow of work.
Organisations can use PQ Academy to deliver standalone courses, support the PQ Foundations program, reinforce Leadership Capacity or Executive Performance programs, and extend learning after a keynote or masterclass. Access is tailored to each cohort, with the relevant courses and resources unlocked.

Start with Insight
PQ Index
The PQ Index is a short digital diagnostic that helps participants understand the physical and psychological foundations affecting how they feel and perform.
For organisations, aggregated results reveal patterns across the cohort and help identify where support will have the greatest impact. The PQ Index can be used before and after a keynote, course or program to establish a baseline and measure change over time.
Online Courses That Turn Insight Into Action
PQ Academy’s six-course suite spans recovery, physiological capacity, mental agility, operating rhythm, coaching, influencing and communication.
Each course is designed for organisational cohorts and combines evidence-based learning with practical application over several weeks. Courses can be purchased individually or included within PQ Foundations and other Performance Intelligence programs.
Explore the complete course suite, including courses available now and those currently in development.
Practical Support Beyond Courses
PQ Academy is designed to support people between formal learning experiences, not simply deliver content for completion.
Participants can be directed to relevant tools and resources as they progress through a course or broader Performance Intelligence program.
The Academy library includes:
- Expert videos and short-form lessons
- Breathing, focus and emotional regulation techniques
- Movement, recovery and exercise routines
- Sleep, nutrition and energy-management resources
- Recipes and practical wellbeing tools
- Templates, reflection activities and implementation exercises
- 21-day challenges that help turn knowledge into consistent habits
This gives participants practical support they can return to when they need it, while helping organisations reinforce learning over time.

Evidence-based. Built for application.
PQ Academy draws on more than 20 years of applied work by Andrew May and the Performance Intelligence team across elite sport, the Australian Defence Force and leading organisations.
The content combines performance science, psychology, physiology and behaviour change with practical strategies designed for demanding work environments.
It is not generic e-learning. Every course, challenge and resource is designed to help people apply what they learn and build behaviours that last.
Build the Right Academy Pathway for Your Organisation
Whether you want to address one specific performance priority or support a broader organisational program, we can help you select the right combination of assessment, courses and reinforcement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is PQ Academy designed for?
PQ Academy is currently available to organisations. It is designed for teams, leaders and broader employee cohorts seeking practical, evidence-based performance development at scale.
Can an organisation purchase one course?
Yes. Courses can be purchased individually and delivered as standalone organisational rollouts.
What is typically included with a course?
A typical rollout includes participant onboarding, PQ Index assessment before and after the course, access to the selected course and relevant Academy resources, and aggregated organisational reporting.
Is accountability coaching included?
Accountability coaching is an optional add-on. We recommend two coaching webinars to reinforce learning and help embed new behaviours. Organisations with their own HR or learning teams can facilitate this internally.
Do participants receive access to every Academy course?
No. Participants receive access to the courses and resources included in their organisation’s selected program. Other courses remain locked unless they are purchased or assigned.
How is progress measured?
Where included, participants complete the PQ Index before and after the course or program. Organisations receive aggregated reporting to help identify patterns and changes across the cohort.
What is the difference between PQ Academy and PQ Foundations?
PQ Academy is the digital platform that houses the PQ Index, courses, challenges and performance resources. PQ Foundations is a structured organisational program delivered through the Academy, supported by onboarding, measurement and reinforcement.
Can individuals purchase PQ Academy directly?
Not currently. PQ Academy is offered as an organisational solution rather than a direct-to-consumer subscription.
