Reading is a crucial ingredient for productivity in the workplace and as a gateway to knowledge. Yet, reading training usually stops at Primary school, and nowadays we are ill equipped for dealing with the mass of information confronting us. Our aim on the course is to double your reading efficiency. Just think about this for a moment. If you usually spend 1.5-2hrs a day reading (which is the average in German offices), then you will save about 1.5 months per year!

We offer 2 intense and fulfilling days of reading training. In these 12 hours 80% of the work is physical exercises: Drilling the eyes in more efficient, forward orientated habits is crucial to our course. Our priority is text comprehension – which is only possible by increasing speed and developing a flexible reading strategy.

The brain can take in information at speeds of 800-1000wpm (words per minute) and if we only read at 200 wpm (average in German language), we are only using a quarter of our capability. This necessarily leads to distraction and misunderstanding. Conclusion: The speed helps concentration and comprehension.

Improved Reading was developed in Australia 40 years ago and has spread all over the world. Over 3 million participants have taken the course. It has been running in Germany since 2001. We offer courses to organisations like Deutsche Bank, Deutsche Telekom, KPMG, Procter&Gamble, e.on and the Bundestag (German Parliament) to name just a few. We also carry out important work at universities and schools. With our broad and expanding organization, we can present and conduct our course all over Germany.

You can improve your reading and we can help you fulfill your potential.
