SHORTHAND COURSES

Shorthand is a very practical and useful skill to have, suitable for secretaries, PAs and journalists, enabling notes and minutes of meetings to be taken down very quickly. 

We offer this course either through distance learning with a course tutor based at our centre or by attending our centre for lessons.

DISTANCE LEARNING - the flexible way to learn!!
By choosing to learn through distance learning you will be able to work at your own pace.  Quite simply, it means you can study when and where it suits you, without having to travel, and complete a course as soon as you are able to do so.  A personal tutor will be allocated to you to mark your work and advise you.  If you have queries you can send an email or telephone. DISTANCE LEARNING - set your own pace!
