Here’s some of the courses we offer
that focus on saving you time in your everyday tasks.
Successful Meetings and Minutes
A core role in any office admin,
secretarial or PA job is supporting your team, aiding productivity and
efficiency in an otherwise manic world! Thousands of hours are wasted in the
Irish workforce through ‘having meetings’ – but when used properly,
productively and proficiently they can be very valuable forms of communication.
This course aims to understand the different types of meetings, how they run
and how best to organise your role as minute taker.
Time Management
Time management training increases
your productivity and efficiency - and this is the perfect time management
course for anyone who wants to get more done in less time. If you were
designing perfect time management training courses, you’d end up with this one
- it explores the techniques and skills needed for effective time management
looking at work patterns, planning and scheduling and reinforcing your learning
with activities and quizzes. Explore the skills and techniques needed for
effective time management. Understand the main techniques required for
effective time management to achieve personal objectives.
SpeedWriting
From the expert in secretarial and
shorthand training, Pitman Training’s SpeedWriting course is a new way to learn
the BakerWrite™Speed Writing system in just six hours. You’ll also find
studying Speed Writing easy to organise around your work and home commitments
as it is provided on a self-study basis, so you learn at your own pace. This
Speed Writing course will help you accurately record the spoken word, to speeds
of up to 40 wpm, through 3 practical, self-paced lessons.
Effective Business Communication
Effective communication skills are
essential to master as they’re often at the top of the list of qualities
demanded by employers. In this course over six modules you’ll begin by looking
at the definition of effective business communication, the use of appropriate
language and tone, how to plan your communication and the forms of written
communication. You’ll also cover face-to-face communication, how to communicate
effectively by phone, presentation skills and listening skills. Finally, you’ll
look at online communication and how to effectively communicate online focusing
on email, texts, online conferencing and more.
Communications in an Organisation
This e-learning course is different
to most communication courses in that it focuses on the way that communications
and information are managed within an organisation rather than personal
communication techniques. The ability to communicate effectively is a vital component
in anyone’s toolbox. The course will help you understand what gets in the way
of effective communication; some of the different types of information available;
and how to find and use the right information.
Keyboard Speed Development
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. We can take you as high as 70 words
per minute and that’s a skill which is very much in demand.
Numeric Data Entry
Typing numbers is a laborious
process. Touch-typing those numbers will improve your productivity and make
every task much less painstaking and tedious. The Numeric Data Entry typing
course only takes a few hours, but the time spent is invaluable. Unlike other
typing courses, ours breaks down the keypad methodically, concentrating on two or
three keys at a time to increase speed and accuracy. We cover data input in
Excel and Access as part of the training, as well as an overall view of data
entry work and of arithmetic operators.
This is just
a small sample of the wide range of courses we offer. Please visit our website
