Over recent years there has been a myth that shorthand is no longer required by PAs. However, Baker Thompson Associates Limited is frequently asked to provide training both for beginners and for refreshers.

It's often when a person takes on a more senior role that they realise they need these skills for taking dictation, jotting down 'phone messages or taking minutes of meetings.

Baker Thompson Associates Limited can provide training for beginners in Pitman New Era and Teeline and also help secretaries update their skills in these systems, no matter how long ago it was originally learnt!
