Students aged 9+
Tutor led courses at school, in the holidays, remote Flexi Time courses and DofE courses
At typeify, we teach students to type quickly and accurately without looking at the keyboard.
​
In school, children are not taught how to type. It's not in the national curriculum. We teach children this lifelong skill through a fun and interactive course.

Student course levels:
Bronze - suitable for beginners. In this course, students learn all 26 letters on the keyboard, 4 punctuation marks (full stop, comma, semi colon and backslash) and many commonly typed words.
Silver - suitable for students who can already touch type all 26 letters on the keyboard. This course focuses on learning to touch type all punctuation marks and numbers, improving speed and accuracy, and some dictation.
Gold - suitable for students who can already touch type all letters and punctation marks. This course is designed to enhance speed and accuracy, with advanced note taking (typing the key points, rather than just typing verbatim). This extra taught skill is not only useful in writing projects, listening to teachers, in seminars and lectures, but vital in many professions.
