COURSE DETAILS
Typing’s Cool aims to teach 8 – 16s and adults how to touch type up to 40 words per minute with 95% accuracy. By using all ten fingers and thumbs, rather than pecking at a keyboard with two fingers, pupils can learn to type four to five times faster. Beginners, improvers and advanced touch typists are given personalised guidance and support.
- The course is aimed at children and young people, as well as being open to their parents for a complete beginners or refreshers course.
- Remote learners will be sent links to our software, teaching materials and the Zoom meeting ID.
- We use a range of educational programmes especially designed by experts, matching our approach to your child’s preferred learning style. Physical exercises are introduced to further improve touch typing ability. Typing’s Cool also promotes spelling, writing and presentation skills. For learners the fun is in dodging asteroids, zapping aliens, “type” rope walking and other app type challenges.
