What's All The Fuss About Touch Typing?
Everybody can type. And most of have taught ourselves to do so.
That's why we're so proud of the lightning speeds we achieve with a mixture of fingers racing over the keyboard.
But did you know that most self-taught keyboard users are actually very slow?
Where you might think you're typing at 40 wpm, once errors and backspacing have been deducted, you'll probably have a true speed of about 8-12 wpm.
That's why employment agencies are so keen on testing typing speeds. And why people who can touch type are easier to place in jobs that those who can't.
Many students find their Pitman Training certificate in Computer Keyboard Skills is proof enough of their keyboard speed and accuracy and are excused from testing.
But maybe more important than mastery of the keyboard is the impact on one's health. People who use the keyboard correctly are less likely to suffer from repetitive strain injury (RSI), a painful and persistent condition.With Pitman Training in London's Notting Hill and High Holborn, you're welcome to visit us and sample for yourself how quick and easy it is to learn to use the keyboard correctly.

So What Is Touch Typing?
Well, it's the ability to type without looking at your fingers or the keyboard and using all your fingers in the correct places.
It results in fewer mistakes and massively increased typing speed.
And learning to type properly is easier than you think!

Why Our Students Report Such Keyboard Success From "Computer Keyboard Skills."
An important reason for our students' success is that the structure of the programme is very clear and easy to follow. The average student works through a number of increasingly challenging exercises using a workbook, audio track and PC under the guidance of our friendly, experienced tutors.
