WHAT IS THIS SPEED READING COURSE ABOUT?

• Learn how to read faster, understand better and remember more.
• Master a process of reading that focuses on effectiveness – absorbing and maximising recall.
• Discover different approaches for different sorts of reading material.

The Effective Speed Reading course is not just about learning to speed read; it includes the unique INSEAK® approach to reading, exclusive to Illumine, which shows you exactly how to read – for information and knowledge – more effectively.

KEY BENEFITS

• Read much faster (typically x3) – saving valuable time and avoiding wasted effort.
• Enhanced confidence that you are as well-informed as you should be.
• Reduced stress – information overload is a major cause of stress for many people. You really can make it a thing of the past.

We’ve been teaching Effective Speed Reading courses to professionals since 1996 and as you would expect, are very confident that these skills, when taught by experienced specialists will treble your reading speed and save many, many hours and a great deal of frustration! Make an enquiry.

Benefits of this Speed Reading Course

• Dramatically increase your reading speed – most people double and even treble their reading speed whilst maintaining comprehension. So if you spend 40% of your day reading, when you learn to speed read and just double your reading speed (without losing comprehension) you’ll save a day a week.
• Prioritise and save time – read what’s important and have more time to get on with your other work.
• Improve your efficiency and effectiveness – through greater comprehension and easier recall of information.
• Manage information more effectively – expand your knowledge base and make informed decisions.
• Slash time spent studying – condense reading and recall information more effectively in lectures, exams and assignments.
• Increase competence and confidence – build knowledge and understanding of any subject – and be able to recall it when you need it!

“Will never read a business book or report the same way anymore because of this course. Great. What a time saver.” Senior Commercial Manager – Large worldwide retailer
