Touch typing is such a useful and lifelong skill – especially if handwriting is a struggle. These sessions are a fun and effective way to learn to touch type.

  • Introduction to touch typing for mixed ages.
  • Three-day course taught in daily one-and-a-half-hour sessions from Saturday 20th – Monday 22nd 2025. All students will attend all 3 days.
  • All students must bring own laptop/tablet with a keyboard or keyboard function. Wi-Fi is available for devices that require this for access. Plenty of charging ports are available.
  • Learners taught position of letters on keyboard using multi-sensory techniques
  • Plenty of opportunity for repetition and over learning in these fun interactive sessions
  • By end of the three days learners will have learnt all letter keys and progressed to simple punctuation and number keys
  • Short homework tasks after each session to consolidate skills
  • Sessions should be backed up by regular practise at home to promote automaticity
  • Upon completion of the course, learners should have gained a good basic knowledge of the keyboard and have a sound foundation on which to build speed and accuracy

“I thinPhoto in hall for touch typingk that the course is pretty good because now I’m a lot better at typing than I first was. It is also an effective way of learning.” (AB who attended ‘Introduction to Touch Typing’)

“They both found it practical, useful and came out happy at the end of it.” (Parent of children who attended ‘Introduction to Touch Typing’)
