The theory pages provide a compact and detailed reference source and are designed to give more information than the average course book provides. Their best use is for review and revision, after your basic instruction is completed. I would encourage complete beginners, who have no prior knowledge of Pitman’s Shorthand, to concentrate their primary efforts on the more simplified information in their instruction book.
If you are interested in pre-New Era versions of Pitman’s Shorthand, I suggest you learn New Era thoroughly, and do your dabbling afterwards, as rules have been revised over time, especially the placement of vowels and positions of outlines, rather major things to get confused over if you are still learning.
This easy-to-follow shorthand secretory course has been specifically compiled at Pitmans College to make self-tuition both simple and stimulating. The rules of shorthand, along with exercises, facility drills and diction tests, are comprehensively covered over the 25 lessons.
DIY I took a course pitman and got pretty far, but I want to go to classroom where they teach. I live in Kent and my local university only teaches Teeline. I do not want to lose what I have already learned in Pitman. Help?
