Description
Our program's unique and proven accelerated learning teaching method incorporates both ‘muscle memory’ and ‘brain balance’ - engaging the major senses of sight, sound and touch simultaneously, radically enhancing memory retention and recall - which is why it is so effective.
Using specific combinations and progressions of just 11 words in 5 scientifically structured phrases, the method trains or ‘retrains’ the fingers of both hands to work symmetrically and simultaneously - No other typing tutor works in this way.
The course offers instruction and encouragement in 5 short modules, in order to hold interest and concentration. The user is allowed to progress at their own pace, acquiring the skill and gaining speed and accuracy without even realizing it.
The 6th and final Assessment module should be attempted when the candidate is consistently achieving a score in excess of 25wpm in our SpeedBuilder long phrases section. The learner is limited to three attempts with a rest of 14 days between attempts to allow for reflection and further practice.
The SEN option incorporates our © Preference Screen - which minimises disturbances related to visual stress. The screen offers the user a selection of options - a choice of 7 typefaces (including 2 licensed fonts), font color, font size, keyboard and colored backgrounds/filters (including 2 specific DRT research based background/filter colors for steadying letter movement and blurring).
KAZ Typing Tutor also allows you to learn with or without sound. However, we recommend the audio version for a richer learning experience. The program also includes ‘speaking keys’ covering the ‘a-z’ keys for the visually impaired.

Questions and answers
Hi, what is the difference between the level 1 and the level 2 course? Do you need 1 to do 2?
Answer:Hi Kitty, Many thanks for your enquiry. The difference is essentially the level of knowledge gained across the keyboard. Level 1 requires mastery of the a-z keys and some punctuation, with a pass mark of 25 wpm and an accuracy of 85%. Level 2 requires further knowledge of punctuation and a pass mark of 35 words per minute (wpm) and an accuracy of 85%. You do not need to take Level 1 prior to Level 2. You can take Level 2 only if it suits you. I hope this helps.

This was helpful.My son is aged 10 and I am considering adding this to our HE learning would he be old enough to gain certification?
Answer:Hi Jo, Unfortunately your son will be too young to be accepted onto the City & Guilds course. The minimum age has just recently been reduced to 15 to allow 'O' level students to gain a qualification. This is a City & Guilds stipulation and although we have tried to reduce the age further, they are firm with their requirements. I'm sorry I can't be of more help but congratulations to you as a parent for considering this and to your son for learning this valuable skill. Kind regards, Keene
