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!

Beginners benefit from our training by learning key location by touch in about an hour (ages 10 and up); this is touch-typing. A beginner can be someone who never learned to type; someone who has never touched a keyboard; someone who looks when keyboarding; someone who took typing, but did not keep it up; someone who has limitations in a limb or has lost a limb and needs to learn a new layout; someone who learned a different keyboard layout, including in a different language.

Children ages 4-9 (up to 3rd grade) can attend Kids Academy classes or learn at home or school with TYPEDancing for Kids©. Our program reinforces learning of numbers and letters as they learn to navigate the keyboard first by looking, then graduating to not looking.

                   

Our primary focus for the beginner is to know key location without looking and utilizing muscle memory instead of sight. It is important for beginners to break bad habits and to use ergonomics in their keyboarding routine to help lessen fatigue and improve physical well-being. Our classes are designed for beginners to learn correctly and create new habits. We regularly offer 3, 4 and 5 day Qwerty courses at our Seattle training center. We teach standard Dvorak, single-hand Dvorak (see illustrations), 10 Key, and private lessons by special arrangement. By the end of the course, each student will have had a one-on-one to set realistic goals that are based on their own performance, understanding, needs, and dexterity. We also offer private instruction for businesses, schools, organizations, and individuals; learning at home with our Skillbuilder® Learning Kit and live online video training; and training opportunities to educators who wish to teach our program at their schools as part of the curriculum, after-school programs, or other programs.

At KEYTIME®, we know EVERYONE can learn to type and Type Faster!
