What age group do you take on the after school typing course?
We take from age of eight up to school leaving age.
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.
