Editor’s Take: What to Check Before Paying
Start with a timed dictation and check your transcript for missing words and numbers. Practise English computer typing separately and log both speed and errors. Check that your shorthand and typing certificate records the six-month course and that both certificate providers are recognized by SBTE.
Use Aptub’s government job eligibility checklist to review your documents. Pay only against the official PSID and never share your portal credentials or CNIC with a recruiter over WhatsApp.
