Advanced Reading

In an increasingly fast-paced world, reading more effectively and efficiently is your competitive advantage. The Advanced (Rapid) Reading programme is suitable for business people, academics, and professionals — anyone who wants to read faster and recall more for business or study. The programme is based on internationally accepted reading theory.

The average business person reads 2 hours a day at a reading speed of approximately 180–220 words a minute. Double your effective reading speed (without losing comprehension), and you save an hour each working day—a time-management dream!

You’ll benefit enormously from this programme if you need to read work-related material — everything from articles, periodicals, reports, books, and briefing papers to emails and web pages. Executives, doctors, secretaries, lawyers, accountants, educationalists, Members of Parliament, and students have all increased their productivity through this widely acclaimed programme.

The internationally successful Advanced Reading programme will enable you to: 

• increase your reading speed, on average, by 300 percent, saving an hour or more a day
• improve your comprehension
• notice less tension and fatigue from reading
• reduce the stress caused by a backlog of unread material
• develop a flexible reading strategy.

‘At first I was wary of speed-reading courses. But that's not what this course is all about. Rather, as the instructor will tell you, it's about advanced reading skills. The skills are uncomplicated to learn and effortless to apply. As a result of applying those skills, I found that my reading speed, understanding, and recall have all markedly increased. Additionally, I save time by rereading material and reading unnecessary material much less often. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to take advantage of well-researched and considered skills.’ Curtis Gregorash, Solicitor, Ministry of Economic Development

‘This was excellent — practical, focused, professional, immediately useful AND pleasant!’
