This course is for anyone who is not a trained typist
Aims
By the end of the course you will be able to touch-type, recalling all the keys from memory whilst looking at the screen as you type.
How you will learn
Prepare to have fun, relax and learn. All we ask you to bring is your willingness to learn, allow us to do the rest – the exercises you will take part in are designed using accelerated learning techniques.
Learning the keys: You will commit to memory the 30 keys involved in touch-typing. You will work with a partner and your trainer will guide you through some carefully designed exercises. Laughter is thoroughly recommended, as is smiling and enjoying yourself.
Typing Exercises: You will become spatially aware of the keys, learning how to move from key to key, we provide you with exercises designed by us to get you fluent on the keys. Your trainer will coach you in your technique.
The course concentrates on accuracy, not speed, throughout the day.
By the end of the day you will be a very slow touch-typist. However, with continued practice, you will be able to achieve good speeds.
There are no shortcuts to speed development – disciplined use of the new skill is the only route.
