This online touch-typing course is for participants looking to take their first steps in learning to touch-type, or looking to improve on existing typing skills.

Using a gamified approach to learning to type, the challenges start out simple and progressively become more advanced. Using games, levels, badges, stars and leader boards, participants learn to type interactively, building up their muscle memory and increasing accuracy and word-speed. Correct posture and hand-placement are strongly encouraged during the sessions, ensuring a comfortable experience all round.

Spark4Kids’ weekly sessions are led by a LIVE!, remote tutor who is able to provide participants guidance in real-time, along with progress reviews during the sessions, and weekly practice homework.

At the end of the course, participants will receive a Spark4Kids certificate and a Skills Assessor report which will be submitted to the Duke of Edinburgh towards your eventual skills award.
