Keyboard Speed Development

About this course

Learning how to type fast is one thing. Learning to type faster whilst retaining accuracy is quite another!

Our Keyboard Speed Development course will improve typing speed and keep your accuracy up to scratch too – so you’ll be more efficient and productive.

Over four stages of the course, we can take you as high as 70 words per minute and that’s a skill which is very much in demand. With us, you can not only learn to type quickly, you’ll get the Pitman Training name on your CV too – which is well worth having. 

This course is the perfect preparation for further training to enhance your career – such as our Microsoft Office courses or specialist secretarial diplomas, which can seriously enhance your earning potential.

With a wide choice of training locations and combined flexible self-paced learning, we offer training that fits around your life. There’s always a course advisor on hand to give you one-on-one support when you need it.

In this course you will work on the following:

• Four stages ranging from 25-70 wpm, which aim to increase speed, dexterity, accuracy and productivity.
• Graded copying exercises to emphasise different points of technique for flexibility and dexterity.
• Use of speed tapes using timed dictation for pacing against targets.
