What's All The Fuss About Shorthand?
Why do so many London job ads ask for shorthand? Surely it's a redundant skill?
On the contrary, it is alive and well.
The great thing about using shorthand is that it enables you to take notes accurately and quickly, much more so than if you were trying to write down or type what someone was saying.
Taking a shorthand course is a bit like learning to write in a new language and it takes a little while before all your carefully positioned dots and squiggles start to make sense.
But once you've mastered the art, there's no going back!
Shorthand will save you hours of work and frustration and your boss will thank you for it as you can keep up with the speed at which they're thinking.
It will keep you out of trouble too, as you'll be able to accurately record the minutes of meetings.
Pitman Training And The History Of Shorthand.
Sir Isaac Pitman created his world famous shorthand system nearly 200 years ago and it was much admired by all and sundry.
Pitman remains the benchmark today although the truth is that Teeline Shorthand is more popular because it's easier to learn and faster to implement at work.
That's why we offer both Pitman and Teeline courses.
