As firms restructure in the New Year, staff may find themselves having to take on additional roles. People may find themselves with a great deal of reading to do in a short space of time. This course would be useful for anyone in that situation. It has an emphasis on understanding, analysis and recall as well as acquiring speed reading skills.
Ideal for anyone with a huge pile of reading and a limited amount of time to read it!
