Course Information

The Typing 4 Little Kids course is for children aged 5-7 years, looking to take their first gentle steps in learning how to touch-type.

Using a gamified approach to learning to type, the challenges start out simple and gently increase in difficulty. Using games, badges and stars, children learn to type interactively, building up their muscle memory and increasing their accuracy and word-speed. Good seating posture and hand-placement are strongly encouraged during the sessions, ensuring a comfortable experience all round.

This course is recommended for children aged 5-7 who are ready to start learning to touch-type.

Taster Sessions

For a nominal fee, we offer taster sessions for any child who would like to try things out before committing to the rest of the term.

During the Taster Session, we will evaluate the child’s ability with a view to making a recommendation regarding which course they might want to consider. Of course, if the child (or parent) has their own views on what course they want to attend, we will do our best to accommodate or suggest a path towards being able to eventually take the preferred course.

Further information about our Online Taster Sessions can be found by using the following link: Book an Online Taster Session

Pro Rata Term Fees

Children who register after the start of the term (or after a Taster Session) will have their fees calculated on a pro rata basis. The fee is dependent on each child’s individual start date, and will be automatically calculated during the booking process.

Attendance

Sessions for each course are held once a week, and children registered on a course will be expected to attend on a weekly basis, on the day and at the time chosen at the time of course registration.
