  • Typing Skills Taster 4 DofE (age 13-17)

    This Typing Skills Taster 4 DofE course is for attendees either looking to take their first steps in learning how to touch-type, or looking to improve on their 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, attendees learn to type interactively, building up their muscle memory and increasing accuracy and word-speed. Good seating posture and hand-placement are strongly encouraged during the sessions, ensuring a comfortable experience all round. Note that these weekly sessions are led by a LIVE!, remote tutor who is able to provide attendees guidance in real-time, along with progress reviews during the sessions.

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

    These Taster sessions run during term-time and by the end of the taster session, participants should have a sense of what the full course entails, helping them decide if they want to complete their Duke of Edinburgh award with the Spark4Kids Typing Skills 4 DofE course.
