Searsol was recommended to me by my sons occupational therapist as he has dyspraxia. We haven’t looked back since the first day he started. After nearly 2 years of attending he has become very proficient at typing heading towards his Silver Award. Thank you Searsol.

Searsol typing course has helped my son achieve a competence in typing and improve my confidence. Typewiz typing tutor has given him a transferable skill, improved confidence and has boosted my self-esteem. I am so delighted that I have completed the Typewiz typing course.

As a parent I am very happy with the progress my son has made by using the Searsol typing course. The course gave him targets to reach and improved his concentration in doing so. He finished the programme in a very short period of time due to the fun and interactive games on the course. My son is very proud to have finished the programme, he knows this typing skill will a great asset to him for the rest of his life.

Of all the ways in which we have tried to help David learning to typing with Searsol, it has been by far the most beneficial. For the first time David can express himself in his own words using a laptop at school.

Does my child need to practice at home when doing your course?
When your child starts the course they should initially do no home practice.
We like to supervise the students in our classroom environment and ensure that they are doing the typing correctly.
By doing it at home, students can pick up bad habits and cross-learning can take place.
As a student becomes more confident with touch typing and is doing the typing correctly in the class, then the student can do home practice.
When are you planning to have an after school centre in my area?
We are expanding our network through our franchise model and actively looking to have a centre in your area. If you can send us your details we will contact you when we have a centre in your area. Also follows on Facebook for any updates that we will have with respect to new centres in your area.
How long will it take for my child to learn how to touch type in the Searsol after school typing centre?
Each child will learn at their own pace on the course and it is difficult to answer without bringing your child up for the free trial. The initial free trial assessment of an hour will allow us to access your child in our classroom. At the end of the trial session, you will show a report on how well your child did on the course and what the expected words per minute that they can achieve on our typing course.
