After 30+ years of success, the secret is out! KEYTIME® is an innovative and effective method to learn touch typing in a short period of time. It is revolutionary in its teaching methodology, which is based on learning theory, instead of rote memory and key placement. Our method allows students to learn letter location - without looking - in about an hour during the first session! It’s fast, easy, and fun! Hundreds of thousands of students have learned how to type in one hour (or less) and improve speed and accuracy in about 10 hours. The key to our proven success is our unique multi-modal, language-based method focusing on individual learning style, background, and health. More now than ever, proper keyboarding is becoming essential for productivity and health. Unique to our method is the focus on ergonomics and eliminating bad habits. We view these as preventative measures against injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome, back problems, neck discomfort, eye strain, and body stress issues as they relate to keyboarding.
Keyboarding includes ergonomics, key location, speed, and accuracy. When using our portable Skillbuilder® Learning Kit, students can hone these skills, practice virtually anywhere and gauge their own progress. Our courses and typing method are suitable for adults, children in Pre-K through high school, anyone who is just learning to type, and those who have mastered keyboarding but wish to improve their touch-typing skills. Our classes are appropriate for students of all abilities including those with special needs, ADHD, dyslexia, dysgraphia, and those needing single-hand options. Know, with KEYTIME® every student can Type Faster, Fast!
Saving time is vital. KEYTIME® is dedicated to helping students save time by learning to touch-type in a fast, fun, and easy way! The skills learned on the first day, of any of our courses (ages 10 and up), would average about 6 weeks in a traditional typing program. Our classes are intentionally kept to a one week period (or less) with most sessions being held on consecutive days. This allows for time-on-task, in a controlled setting, with few distractions, and provides an environment for reinforcing the new skill in a manner that might not be available elsewhere. Students practice and apply their new skill in a non-competitive setting while continuing to unlearn bad habits.
Most students can walk out the first day, after a two-hour session, knowing how to touch-type. That is, knowing the key location without having to look, using the correct fingers, and finger path. They are able to start applying their new skill immediately. Proficiency comes with practice and application, but most of all trusting the process and not reverting back to old habits.
Success has to be seen and felt. Why many other programs fail - students cannot see their progress fast enough, which translates to discouragement and leads to not practicing. Positive reinforcement is built into our method whether in a class, through self study, or online. Our system is set up so that students are actively involved in their own learning and can monitor their success as frequently as they wish. Throughout the learning process, they are encouraged to celebrate their successes, not only from the instructor, but also through charting their own progress.
You can do it! Positive reinforcement sets students on a pathway toward greater success and motivates them to trust that they can achieve their goals. Our classes and materials provide a variety of motivation aids to support student learning: Visualization techniques, muscle memory exercises, and real-world examples. Our staff offer tips to help students find ways to succeed and not set themselves up for failure. Students are encouraged to contact us after their course to let us know how they’re doing or if they’re having any issues. Our care for our students does not end on the last day of class.
We expect everyone who uses our program to: Get busy doing other things. Have more personal time. Enjoy new-found freedom. Live more fully. Get typing fast. Type faster, fast with KEYTIME®!
