Touch typing is a skill with powerful benefits, including enhanced productivity, improved focus, increased speed and accuracy, greater job opportunities, and even health benefits. When you know how to touch type, you open up a whole new world of productivity and information management capability.
Shorthand is both a skill and an art. Many people have no idea of its potential for recording information, whether for note-taking during lectures, meetings and official events, or for recording interviews. Learning shorthand allows you to take notes at double the speed of longhand, and it is essential for certain professions, including journalism, minute-taking and stenography.
This course is designed for office workers, typists, writers, journalists, professionals, employers, business owners and anyone who wants to work in one of these fields, or who simply wants to improve their typing or note-taking ability. It is divided into modules you can progress through at your own pace, with diagrams and reference material covering technical aspects such as keyboard layout, plus exercises, tests and worksheets to reinforce your learning.
