What it’s like
Adults-only training centre in Watford: touch typing, tutor-led seminars and exam sittings, with monthly course intakes and payment plans.
This is an adults-only training centre, so no children on site. What you'd come for is a course: touch typing across the alpha-numeric keys, tutor-led seminars, or sitting an exam as a centre for AAT, IAB and City & Guilds. The typing course is the one to look at if your working day is spent pecking at a keyboard.
Courses have monthly intakes and run up to three months, with diplomas stretching to a year. They suggest setting aside 8 to 10 hours a week, which is the honest bit: it's a real commitment on top of a job, not a lunchtime dabble. Some courses you can do remotely online, others in centre with course advisors on hand throughout. Payment plans spread the cost up to 36 months.
The catch is the cost. Nothing's published, so you have to enquire, and the FAQ page leaves questions about which courses are approved without an answer. Book an appointment to talk through options and payment plans rather than turning up cold. Opening runs 09:30 to 17:00 Monday, Wednesday to Friday, Tuesday until 20:00 for anyone fitting study around work, and Saturday mornings until 13:30, which is a recent addition.
It's under a 10 minute walk from Watford Junction, with several bus routes nearby, and parking is nearby rather than on site. Wheelchair accessible, and there's no café to fall back on, so eat before you go. The 8 to 10 hours a week is what decides whether this suits you.
