Searsol After-School Typing Classes Return This September 2026

As schools prepare to welcome students back this September, now is the perfect time to equip your child with one of the most valuable lifelong learning skills – touch typing.

At Searsol, we have been helping children develop confidence, independence and digital skills through our specialist touch typing courses since 2008. Over the past 18 years, thousands of children across Ireland have completed our programmes, with many significantly improving both their typing speed and accuracy.

Free Trial Assessment

We are delighted to offer a free trial assessment for new students before they enrol.

This assessment allows us to:

• Measure your child’s current typing speed and accuracy.
• Assess their keyboard familiarity and finger positioning.
• Recommend the most suitable class level.
• Demonstrate how our structured programme works.

Parents receive valuable feedback and can see exactly how the course can benefit their child before making any commitment.

Why Touch Typing Matters

Today’s classrooms rely more than ever on technology. From homework and projects to online learning and state examinations, children are expected to use computers confidently.

Learning to touch type allows children to:

• Complete schoolwork more quickly.
• Improve the quality of written assignments.
• Focus on ideas rather than searching for keys.
• Reduce frustration and fatigue when writing.
• Build an essential skill for secondary school, college and future employment.

Typing is no longer an optional skill—it is becoming an essential part of modern education.

Helping Children with Dyslexia and Dyspraxia (DCD)

Many of our students have dyslexia or Developmental Coordination Disorder (Dyspraxia/DCD), and our courses have been specifically designed to support their learning needs.

Benefits for children with dyslexia

For children with dyslexia, touch typing can:

• Reduce the cognitive load involved in writing.
• Help children concentrate on spelling, vocabulary, and ideas rather than handwriting.
• Improve confidence when completing written work.
• Make classroom tasks and homework less stressful.

Benefits for children with Dyspraxia (DCD)

Children with Dyspraxia (DCD) often find handwriting physically tiring and time-consuming. Learning to type can:

• Reduce the physical effort required for written work.
• Improve independence in the classroom.
• Increase writing speed.
• Help children produce longer, more organised pieces of work.
• Build confidence using technology as an alternative to handwriting.

Many parents tell us that learning to type has transformed homework time and made schoolwork far less frustrating for their children.

Our Goal – Double Your Child’s Typing Speed

Every child learns at their own pace, but our structured programme is designed with a clear objective:

We aim to double each child’s typing speed within six months while also improving accuracy and confidence.

Using our engaging teaching methods, experienced instructors and interactive Typewiz learning platform, children develop proper touch typing techniques that stay with them for life.
