TypeQuick has been teaching people to touch type for over 20 years. They have built up a strong relationship with experts in education who give us constant feedback and advice. This feedback is used to continually develop TypeQuick so that it is always current, user friendly and highly functional.

There are ten keyboard lessons which teaches the correct finger positioning and associated keys if the alpha/numeric keyboard.

The first six lessons teach the letters of the alphabet in upper and lower case. Each one begins with finger placement exercises introducing the new keys. Illustrations and simulations on your computer screen show you the correct finger usage for each key. Specially designed exercises follow that use only the keys you have learnt to point to.

Lessons 7 and 8 teach you how to use the numeric keys situated on the top row of the keyboard.

Lessons 9 and 10 aims to build speed and accuracy.

Each lesson is made up of three parts. Parts A and B teach new letters and combine them with the home keys and previously learnt letters. Part C is a consolidation lesson where all letters learnt so far are combined and presented in sentences and sometimes larger paragraphs. These exercises are designed to build your skill level confidence. You will be given a progress report at then end of each lesson part.

Each Key pressed, correct or incorrect, is recorded. Letters you experienced speed or accuracy weaknesses with are offered in remedial exercises.
