QWERTY Type are the UK’s leading provider of teacher-led online touch typing lessons for children and adults. Our Touch Typing courses are run in small groups, ensuring that each student is given the individual support and attention they need, establishing us as the top choice for children with dyslexia, dyspraxia and other special educational needs (SEN).

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.

Two such enthusiastic and encouraging teachers...

It was great for my son to attend these well-run and enjoyable sessions, delivered by two such enthusiastic and encouraging teachers. It was also very convenient for us as it was delivered online. My son reached a really good standard of typing speed and accuracy, by the end of the ten-week course.

Reviews from Students & Parents

Great course - fabulous way for children to learn typing. My 9 year old son has thoroughly enjoyed it. Now that he uses a laptop for his work at school, it is an essential skill he needs. Clare and Philippa were brilliant and kept a close eye on the children using the keyboard correctly, which was great so that my son could work independently rather than me sitting with him! Can fully recommend.

This is a fantastic course for touch typing beginners. My son found the online lessons fun and the targets achievable. The tutors were helpful, explaining tasks and answering any queries which my son had promptly.

My daughter completed this course and has gained accuracy and speed in just 12 weeks which is already using in her school work. Great life skill to learn. I recommend it.

Great course. Really pleased, my daughter managed to get to 30 words a minute which is great as she uses a laptop for school exams. It was also lots of fun, neither of kids complained, so I think all the games they do in the course really helped. Would recommend.
