Comprendo is a training company with a real difference. A company that is creating a whole new category of skill training packages to yield virtually instant productivity gains. Vital skills training for business, industry and education for individuals and/or groups who are time constrained but information hungry.

Comprendo's 3 hour 'Word Speed Work Out' being a case in point, a speed reading course that has seen clients average reading speeds tripled and comprehension levels doubled within the duration of this short but intensive course. 

Comprendo's philosophy is built on the proposition that many skill sets are centered on a base of (often simple) principles, that once learnt and comprehended ‘front load’ the acquisition of the entire skill. That is, the steepest learning curve is at the beginning.

Comprendo focuses on this phase with trained, motivated tutors - bright, perky people with carefully constructed course resources to make it work for their clients within the very limited time they have available. Whether that's just a morning, evening or time snatched between work and dinner.

By way of example, Speed Reading. The greatest increase in speed for an average reader is at the start when they learn the basic principles and techniques of Speed Reading. Comprendo's 3 hour course focuses on teaching these in a stripped down ‘power course’ that is as much a fun workout as it is a lesson. And they get to apply the productivity gains from day one!

To compliment the course Comprendo then offers a text and email based ‘after course service’ to help keep them tasked on maintaining improving and expanding their new skill set 'bridgehead. Advanced tutorial courses are also available to take their skills to an even higher level.

It's a cinematic bootcamp but instead of drill sergeant screaming obscenities at you it's the constant tick-tocking of the countdown clock. 48HOURS is a serious challenge for both first time filmmakers through to experienced directors. Filmmaking teams have just one weekend to make a short film.

All creativity: writing, shooting, editing and adding a musical soundtrack, must occur within the 48 hour window beginning Friday evening at 7pm and ending Sunday at 7pm. To add to the mayhem, they must also include some random elements...
