Three Great Reasons to Learn to Type!

• Improve your productivity. Typing faster means you spend less time on each task involving typing, meaning you can achieve more. Learning to type also means improving your accuracy which will improve the quality of your finished work.
• Improve your health. Learning to type correctly may reduce the likelihood of developing Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) by reducing the stress on your hands (learning the Dvorak keyboard may help even more). Also if you type speedily and accurately first time you'll spend less time correcting your mistakes and therefore learning to type can reduce your stress levels.
• Improve your employability. IT skills are becoming increasingly important in all walks of life and employers are looking more and more to employ people with a sound skill base. Learning to type is an important computer skill and may make you more attractive to potential employers.
