History and experience
David is a highly experienced training consultant in Fast effective reading. He started his work in this area 29 years ago. He initially ran courses for university under-graduates at Oxford and 6th form students to help them in their studies. Since then, he has successfully developed the programme for government agencies, local government, the police, business organisations and the professions, including accountancy and the law.
He recently developed an online version of the Fast Effective Reading course, proving to be popular with university students, in the UK and the US.
David has also run a wide range of communication and management skills training programmes, and has been involved in setting up diagnostic studies to determine the extent and detail of need prior to training or organisational change.
"David has really given me the skills I need to achieve this and I actually saw an improvement immediately so thank you for this. I would highly recommend to all staff."
