STENODAC’S popular STENOGRAPHY COURSE
Equip yourself with specialized SKILLS – HIGH-SPEED WRITING and TYPEWRITING!
STENOGRAPHY is a combination of two Courses – SHORTHAND COURSE 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 onto 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 organizations, both large and small. A shorthand qualification is also essential for entering into or getting promotions in many governments 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.
