Good luck.
Thank you to David for the information about Safety Care Training - do you have any further details, as I seem unable to find them in the Yellow Pages etc.
I would suggest that you contact the Basic Skills Agency with your query - I believe that they do have a website, but these are their details:
The Basic Skills Agency. Commonwealth House 1-19 New Oxford Street LONDON WC1A 1NU. Telephone No: 0171 705 4017 Fax No: 0171 404 5038.
A colleague and I both use accelerated learning techniques in training people to use keyboards - we can teach people to touch type in four hours!
It does sound far fetched, however I can promise you that it is true. The course incorporates the use of imagery, relaxation and activities to enhance recall. By the end of the four hours people really do know their way round the keyboard, even though they will probably only have practised actually typing for a quarter of that time. If people practise using the exercises that they take away with them, within two weeks they should be up to speeds of around 30 words per minute.
