The typing course

Our course follows the “ten finger touch typing system”. Children will learn how to type using all ten fingers without looking at the computer keyboard.  In only 20 weeks, your child will acquire the skills how to type reaching a speed of around 120 keystrokes per minute.  To help achieve this, the children cover all of the keys with coloured stickers. On the basis of these colours, the children know which finger to use without being able to see which letter is underneath. This system works perfectly, specifically because we build up the number of letters step by step.

During the course your child will have thoroughly learnt all about the computer keyboard. Through working in a word processing program he or she will have insight into the layout of many documents regularly recurring in practice. 

Children that participate enjoy making the typing tests and lessons and find our touch typing course really nice to do. That is evident by the very high number of students who are awarded a certificate following their successful completion of the final typing test. It is our experience that through our unique method every student can indeed achieve the objective and learn how to touch type.

Based on the many years of experience and the personal approach of our typing tutors it has been proven that many children that suffer from a form of dyslexia or another learning difficulty can successfully follow our course. 

Your child will acquire a skill for life. This is extremely valuable, both at school and in a future employment environment. Just think, they will be able to compose letters and essays, edit texts and send e-mails skillfully  and with ease. Furthermore, good typing proficiency can help to prevent RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury).
