This course is ideal for busy professionals e.g. managers, lawyers, researchers etc. who find themselves snowed under by lengthy reports and other documents. Learning to speed read is a great way of saving time and getting to grips with large volumes of reading material faster and more efficiently. It is also highly beneficial to anyone undertaking a course of study. The skills of speed reading (or rapid reading) can best be learned at a structured training course with on-going tutor support and encouragement. Everyone has a personal reading speed at the start and end of any course; it is not unusual for course participants to double their reading speeds and still maintain good levels of comprehension.
