It usually takes about two weeks to complete. In many speed reading courses, you always have to read fast in order to get the benefit you want because they teach you sort of reading "tricks" (I think) that only work if you are using them all the time. In Sylvan's course, you do normal reading skills, but just faster. This gives you the freedom to read different materials at slower speeds after completing the course if you want to (for example, if you're reading for pleasure). I should probably say that I have taught this course for Sylvan, so I am a biased recommender. But the course is really solid. It's based on real reading principles. I think you'll be satisfied. Frankly, if you're reading 80 pages an hour, you are already a pretty fast reader. I'm wondering why you feel you need this kind of help. Sylvan Learning Center offers an advanced reading course.
