We have been working with GA Training for the last five years, delivering Fast Effective Reading to lawyers and support staff. The dramatic improvement in both reading speeds and comprehension levels has shown our busy people that there are always ways in which they can improve. As a result this is now one of our most requested courses and those attending always get fantastic results, not only doubling their reading speed but increasing comprehension and retention of what they read too.

Frequently Asked Questions
Many people worry that once they learn to read faster they will then be stuck reading at a faster speed all the time. Quite the opposite is true. The Fast Effective Reading programme will show you how you can use “different speeds for different reads”. This is one of the most liberating effects after the course
You would be amazed at how often this gets asked. It seems to be one of people’s biggest fears, perhaps it is to do with that feeling you got in the pit of your stomach when it was your turn to read to the class for the first time at school! There is no exposure on this course, it is a private process and your are playing against yourself throughout.
We firmly believe that training should not end once the delegates leave the training room. For this reason we have developed a unique 8-week email series to follow-up and embed the learning way beyond the classroom. Each email acts as a reminder of the key topics and gives delegates further exercises they can try in their own time.
The total training time for our open course is 4.5 hours. We can reduce this to 4 hours for in-company clients.
We deliver the course on an in-company basis throughout the UK and internationally. We also regularly deliver the course as an open programme in London for individual delegates to attend.
The techniques taught in this programme can be very beneficial to dyslexia sufferers. “Thanks so much for all your help. I have to admit that as dyslexic, I did not believe you when you said you would double my reading speed, I really didn’t think I was capable of reading quickly so I wanted to say a huge thank you!” Joseph, Lawyer
No. Speed reading has a bad name, it suggests skimming, skipping and missing content all for the sake of speed. Our course is called Fast Effective Reading for a very good reason. You will also still read every single word on the page, just faster and more effectively.
In full. A robust module on why it is difficult to read from screens and the best of our expertise on how to overcome or at least minimise the damage from these challenges.
Oh yes. The doubling of reading speed is applicable to any starting reading speed. If you are already a fast reader the chances are you might be practising some of the techniques without realising it. Refine these techniques and the sky is the limit for you!
The skills developed on the course are applicable to any reading material. We work with dozens of law firms, engineering firms and big pharmaceuticals, all reading technical information of some sort or another and the techniques they develop simply help them to do this more effectively.
Quite the reverse. The general perceived wisdom with reading is that you need to slow down if you are not understanding the content. It is a paradox that quite the opposite is true, most people are using the reading techniques they developed at around 5 or 6 years of age and as a result their bright and intelligent adult mind goes wandering because it is bored. Within reason speed will give you focus and with greater focus you naturally get greater comprehension.
We deliver this course all round the world. We work with French, German, Dutch, Italian and Spanish speakers all the time, not to mention Swedish, Flemish and Portuguese speakers! The skills developed on the course are transferable to reading in any language and are as applicable in say French as they are in English.
You can pay for any course by credit card or you can request an invoice.
