Fast Effective Reading Skills
Learn to double your reading speed and understand more

It is thought that information is now doubling every two years. Ever-increasing emails and websites are the evidence. Many people already spend 4 hours or so reading!

Are you like this too? Do you often feel swamped, just can’t keep up? Added to that, do you often lose your concentration and forget much of what you have read?

Having been taught to read only once - when you were about 4 - you spend a large amount of time using your least efficient skill. Potential gains in personal productivity are immense.

This course in Fast Effective Reading, run by the country’s leading authority on the subject, will probably save you 2 hours per day. Many organisations in both the public and private sectors use the course. It is likely that you will at least double your current reading speed, with better comprehension and retention. This will lead to your being better informed on key issues.

The course is conducted in-house and lasts 8 hours. It is demanding both mentally and physically. However, it is not competitive, and delegates are encouraged to progress at their own best pace.
