CHILDREN’S KEYBOARDING – TOUCH TYPING COURSES

Learn to touch type - in small, relaxed classes, using traditional and entertaining exercises designed to motivate and encourage young students.

All children will hand in dozens of assignments amounting to hundreds of typed pages before they leave school. Just imagine the time they would save if they could type using all ten fingers.

Children become familiar with computers and word processors at school from an early age, but because of the pressures of the National Curriculum, are not taught to touch type. Using two-finger typing is a difficult habit to correct and restricts the development of speed and accuracy.

Learning to touch type before bad habits are established is a skill learned for life.

Classes are suitable for both boys and girls aged between 9 and 16+ years.

Module 1 - Basics
