"Lifetime Privileges" If you have EVER done the Evelyn Wood Reading Dynamics Course, anywhere in the world, you should read this. Since the launch of the Evelyn Wood Reading Dynamics course in the late 1950's / early 1960's, many thousands of people did the Evelyn Wood course in a number of countries around the world, and were offered "lifetime privileges", entitling them to refresh their skills at any time and at no charge. For a number of reasons, it appears that these "lifetime privileges" have little value in some countries, where the successors in title to Evelyn Wood Reading Dynamics in some countries have elected NOT to honor these "lifetime privileges". In South Africa, "lifetime privileges" of Evelyn Wood Reading Dynamics graduates are recognized, regardless of where in the world you did the course. In North America, the position is uncertain and you are advised to communicate direct with the organization that provided your training. If you are unsuccessful in exercising your "lifetime privileges", please feel free to contact us. Speed Reading International (SRI) has no affiliation with Evelyn Wood Reading Dynamics in the USA. Neither does SRI offer the Evelyn Wood course nor any substantive components of the Evelyn Wood courses. SRI is an independent company run by Bruce W Stewart, a former overseas Evelyn Wood Reading Dynamics Institute Director & Instructor with more than 25 years experience in teaching the Evelyn Wood Methodology & Techniques. The SRI ExecuRead and SuperReading courses are mostly classroom-based and are the product of Bruce Stewart's personal experiences as an overseas Evelyn Wood Reading Dynamics instructor & institute director plus his application of speed-reading and smart-reading techniques to his career as a trial lawyer and corporate executive. With this experiential background, he may be able to assist you with any difficulties you may be experiencing in further improving your skills. While EWRD graduates in North America are strongly urged to direct their "lifetime privilege" claims to the relevant North American service providers, SRI may be approached as a last resort. In the spirit of promoting effective and productive reading and information management skills, SRI has adopted the following policy : (If approached by ANY Evelyn Wood Reading Dynamics Graduate, regardless of when or where in the world you completed the Evelyn Wood Reading Dynamics course, Speed Reading International will recognize your "lifetime privileges", under the following terms and conditions : Either refer a new student to one of our courses and you come along for free, or pay a 'rejoining' fee of US$150 - by doing this, you will henceforth be deemed to be one of 'our' students and you enjoy all benefits from us.) For those Speed Reading International Graduates in the USA (both ExecuRead and SuperReading) after October 2001, you are already on our database and we will be in touch with you to advise whenever we have new courses and refresher courses in your area. (You are of course always welcome to come along to any of our regular public courses for a refresher session and there is no charge to do this - we always like to see 'old' faces.) |
