Speed Reading Courses

Overview

Written information is vital to us – 80% of what we learn still comes from what we read. Information is everywhere, everyday a bewildering number of emails, attachments, reports and journals hit our desk – all of which we should read!

Conservatively we spend 2 hours plus a day reading and we’re still worried we’ve missed important information. Our High Efficiency Speed Reading course will transform your reading speed and comprehension – freeing up time, reducing your stress levels and giving you an excellent return on your investment.

Course formats

  • Corporate courses at your company site or suitable venue – up to 12 people
  • Corporate “taster session” at your company site – up to 4 people
  • Public speed reading courses in Bath or London – up to 14 people
  • Online speed reading courses – up to 14 people

Course content

In four hours it is our responsibility to double your reading speed and increase your comprehension. This means that the average reader will leave with the capability to comfortably read over 500+ words per minute.

This practical, stimulating, enjoyable course doesn’t just teach you the rules of speed reading, our experts help you put them into practice. We work with you to improve your recall of documents and to plan your reading effectively.

So while you progress through the workshop at your own pace, you will leave a fluent confident reader with improved concentration and understanding. So start planning what you’ll do with the time you’ll save.
