Such a fantastic life skill to learn and the ladies at QWERTY kids don't dissappoint, so helpful and also made both of my children feel like an individual. (One did the course are part of DOFE and was so good we booked for our older child so she too had this fantastic life skill)... both are now using their new skills for homework and for note taking in class! thank you ladies.

I can't recommend this course highly enough. Our 13 year old has always massively struggled with his written presentation and this course has provided a gateway into attainment that was previously blocked. The course leaders were quite simply phenomenal and I am a harsh critic!

My 14 year old son has just completed the 12 week online touch type course as part of the skills section of his Bronze DodfE award. The communication from Clare and Philippa was excellent and everything he needed was sent well in advance ready for him to start his first lesson. He was well directed during each session and always knew what he should be doing both during the lesson and for ‘homework’. His typing has improved greatly and he now has a valuable life skill and a completed section towards his DofE award. Highly recommend.

My 14 year old son had a wonderful experience learning to touch type with QWERTY kids. He gained a fantastic WPM score, and gained a valuable skill for his GCSEs and A level years. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the course to any teenager to gain this essential skill to help them with their exam years.

QWERTYkids is great: professional, reliable and with a really accessible approach to learning to touch type - an increasingly important life skill. Clare and Philippa are really responsive to any queries and questions - key to remote learning I think. My 15 year-old son thoroughly enjoyed their Flexi course which he completed for his DofE, and his typing skills have improved enormously.

Two of my daughters (aged 11 and 14) have spent the last six Saturday mornings online with a few of their friends doing a QWERTYkids course and they have LOVED it! The teaching is so enthusiastic and both Clare and Philippa made it so much fun for the girls. It’s such a useful life skill to have at their age too - one of them used to type like a pigeon but now she’s like Woody Woodpecker! Highly recommend the course and thank you so much.

Reviews from DofE Students & Parents

Great sessions where kids can develop at their own pace. Brilliant for the skills element of the DoE.

My 14 year old son enjoyed doing the flexible typing course for his Silver D. of E. award. The tutors were helpful and the typing program was fun. The flexible course meant that he could fit it in around homework, scouting and sporting activities. Brilliant, would highly recommend.

Great course, my son really enjoyed it and his typing improved hugely. Phillipa was so friendly, helpful and encouraging. Great thing to do for DofE.

My 14 year old son recently completed this course for his bronze DofE skills section. It was excellent. We loved being able to do it in his own time at home, making it easy to fit around other activities and homework. He received weekly lesson instructions and feedback and the web app was very easy to use and navigate. I highly recommend this course.

I did/am doing this for my Duke of Edinburgh award. It was a rough start due to miscommunication and my computer however it was all sorted very quickly and they are very good at responding quickly. I have honestly learnt how to type quickly and accurately in a short amount of time. Highly recommended for younger and older people.
