Equip yourself with specialised skills – high speed writing and typewriting!
Stenography is a combination of two courses – shorthand and typewriting! In fact the two go hand-in-hand, because after the shorthand writer takes down the dictation, the matter is then transcribed directly on to a word-processor, computer, or an electronic typewriter.
Knowledge of these two skills is probably the most indispensable skill for a Secretary, Personal Assistant or Stenographer. People with good Stenography skills are in demand and are sought after by many professional organisations, both large and small. A shorthand qualification is also essential for entering into or getting promotions in many government and private sector jobs.
Shorthand is an interesting and enjoyable skill to learn. It is a writing technique that involves using signs instead of words so that a competent writer can take down more than 100 words per minute (wpm) or more, from a spoken dictation or a speech. Very skilled Shorthand writers exceed speeds above 150+ wpm. The shorthand notes are then transcribed onto a typewriter or computer.
A good Typist normally attains speeds of around 40 wpm, but speeds on a computer keyboard can easily exceed 60+ words a minute.
