AB  - When Price Waterhouse computerised its Tax Practice, 400 tax
professionals needed to learn efficient keyboarding. The self‐teach
typing tutorial loaded onto each staff member′s personal computer was
not used sufficiently for staff to gain a high level of proficiency. One
of the training units was asked to propose a cost effective method of
training, bearing in mind constraints of time, cost and delivery method.
Using battery operated keyboards and training secretarial staff to teach
keyboarding skills, the 400 staff were trained in tutor‐led programmes
lasting 16 hours each, in London and the regional offices. The project
lasted 6 months and resulted in 91 per cent of trainees reaching a speed
of more than 15 words per minute at 90 per cent accuracy in the 16 hours
of tuition. The management consultancy division has now requested
similar training.
