Why not bring your child along for the initial free trial assessment first session to any of our centres?
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 on 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.
