• Quick Keyboarding with Keytimer™

Want to type much faster and with more accuracy? This class really works!:

“After being part of a massive layoff in Sept, and over 50, I found myself highly skilled but only in the select market from which my telecommunications background required. I took all the classes I could, [including] the Keytimer class in February. I am now typing 40+ words per minute. I was a non- typist before. “ Tami Cook, Shoreline, WA

Type properly by touch while increasing your speed and accuracy. At the end of the first session, you will be able to type all the letters of the alphabet, the horizontal numbers, comma and period on the keyboard without looking at your fingers. Using a scientifically designed book, you will see quick results.
