Our ‘inclusive’ and interactive typing course uses a unique and proven 'accelerated learning' teaching method. It is incredibly fast, easy to use and will teach you the 'a-z' keys in just 90 minutes* - allowing you to master your keyboard in minutes instead of hours.

Our courses are used by the UK government and corporations around the world, it trains or retrains you to touch type correctly.

Our program is suitable for all users and is SEN/Dyslexia enabled - the SEN aspects were developed with advise and guidance from the Dyslexia Research Trust.

It is designed to be used from anywhere there is an internet connection.

*Testing prior to launch on 18,000 students per year, for 3 years, proved that over 90% of students learned the ‘a-z’ keys in just 90 minutes. Further testing and approval by the Open University resulted in them implementing the course to all students and teachers and a ‘white paper’. However, we strongly advise that students work at their own pace.

If you can already type then why not just take our 'Assessment only' - see the KAZ website for further details.

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.
