Course Content
Up to the minute software, our Pitman Training workbook and supervisor support combine to create a unique, highly effective course. You are guided through ten comprehensive and enjoyable lessons in a planned and logical sequence. Each self-paced lesson builds on skills learned in previous lessons and at each step you are encouraged and motivated to continue.
At the end of the lesson, the program invites you to have extra practice if desired with the option of an extension exercise. The workbook is a vital part of the course and contains lessons specially designed to consolidate what you have gained using the typaz software. Each workbook lesson repeats the corresponding keyboard lesson content and more. When you have completed a lesson using typaz you can refer to the workbook for additional practice before returning to the typaz program for the next lesson. Using the workbook will give you practice on typing from hard copy text and will help you get used to typing when presented with more than just one line of text. The course alternates between speed practice and accuracy lessons to improve skills in both areas. In-built reporting and assessment tools enable an accurate snapshot of your progress at any time. You have the opportunity to gain not only a highly regarded Pitman Training certificate but also a BCS Level 2 e-type touch-typing qualification.
