Does my child need to practice at home when doing your course?

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.

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.
See our blog which explains it more details on how long it will take to learn how to touch type.
