When you bring your child for a free trial. We will provide an initial assessment of what your child can achieve on the course. We have three standards for the course:

  • Bronze – 15 words per minute
  • Silver – 25 words per minute – this standard would be suitable for children who are going to doing the state exams using a laptop.
  • Gold – 40 words per minute – this is where you can type faster than you can write.

The trial lasts a full hour and your child will be in a classroom with other students along with our Searsol Tutor.
