Touch Typing for Students Online: the complete touch typing-teaching system. Aimed at students aged from 6 – 16, Typequick is used by hundred of schools in the UK and thousands across the globe.

TYPEQUICK FOR STUDENTS: The benefits

• Touch typing is learned very quickly – usually in around 10 hours with the students learning at their own pace. The course adds extra remedial lessons automatically, tailored to account for a student’s individual progress, so speeding up and focusing the learning process.
• As the course is delivered online, students can learn both at school and at home, and teachers can easily monitor progress at any time, via the online administration system. As the course needs little or no supervision and can be completed in short sessions out of normal lesson time if necessary, there is maximum flexibility for both the teacher and the student.
• There is a Learning Management System, through which teachers can manage subscriptions, processes enrolments and monitors students’ progress.
• The course is eligible for funding from the Harnessing Technology Grant (see below).
