Presentation
Summary

Do you often have to write presentations, reports or plans? Then learning how to touch type at lightning speed is just the thing for you. This way typing really goes twice as fast.
Daarom hebben we een ook aangepaste typecursus gemaakt voor ouders op basis van onze succesvolle TypeTopia typecursus.
Our mission, our promise!
The TypeTopia Method
Finish work faster
Are you often at the keyboard for work or leisure? We teach you to touch type at lightning speed.
I did the TypeTopia typing course together with my 11 year old son. It was a nice incentive for both of us to do the daily 20-minute lesson. I could type pretty fast with 3 fingers, I thought to myself. But it is really a different world when you can touch type with 10 fingers! We both succeeded but he is really hard to keep up with!

We had a good laugh and can both touch type at lightning speed now
Ik heb de cursus samen met mijn dochter van 11 gedaan. Het was fijn elkaar te motiveren en 5x per week met elkaar aan de slag te zijn. En ik heb er ook echt zelf met 10 vinger van leren blindtypen. Als was ik bij het examen niet zo snel als mijn dochter. Die leerde echt wel heel snel. Daar was ik echt trots op. Zo leuk om te zien!

What is different from TypeTopia for children?
We have kept the best of TypeTopia. You follow the same adventure as your children. And there are still the same games that really teach you how to touch type. But we have shortened the storyline and adapted the practice texts to the age.
Learning to touch type is really different from learning to type with 10 fingers. Because you no longer have to look at the keyboard, typing becomes automatic. It takes more training time, but it will be more than worth it because you will become much faster.
Type texts with better content
When you touch type you do not have to look at the keys to find the right lettters. So you can entirely focuss on what you want to type. This makes it easier to write a full answer or a better report.
Take notes during online meetings
These days meetings often take place online. Sometimes we spend entire days on Zoom and Teams meetings. If you can touch type whilst looking at the screen you can take great notes. The same goes for live meetings or presentations of course.
Prepared for the future
In a professional environment, it is impossible to imagine life without a computer. The number of hours spent behind a computer has increased exponentially in recent decades. The medium for communicating with the rest of the world is the keyboard.
Ondanks dat er allerlei goed werkende spraakherkenningsprogramma’s bestaan is het typen nog steeds niet weg te denken uit onze dagelijkse werkzaamheden.
Chances are that you regularly spend time at home on your laptop. Since we spend a lot of time behind a computer in our private lives as well, learning to touch type is a huge advantage. Nice to have now, indespensable later!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I do a trial lesson at TypeTopia?
Of course! Experience for yourself how TypeTopia works. You will be surprised how quickly we can teach your child and you to touch type. There is a free trial lesson for children and a separate trial lesson for parents which is set up more as a demo and also explains how the system works.
How long does the TypeTopia touch typing course take?
Each daily assignment takes about 20 minutes. You choose how often you want to practice per week in your online schedule. Five, four or three times a week. There are 100 exciting missions, so bring it on.
5 x p/w = exam after 20 weeks
4 x p/w = exam after 25 weeks
3 x p/w = exam after 33 weeks
If you want to finish the course sooner, you can! But make sure you have enough breaks between the individual daily assignments. Do something else in between that does not require you to concentrate. For example, play outside, play sports, chill out...
Please note! TypeTopia takes a bit longer than other online touch typing courses. This is because we teach touch typing, guaranteed, so you become much faster.
How much should you practise each day or week?
When learning the keyboard, it is important to practise frequently with as few breaks in between as possible.
Each daily assignment takes about 20 minutes. The daily assignments are structured in such a way that we first start by repeating what was introduced last time. This is followed by a new letter or symbol which is practised sufficiently so that you will be able to find it again next time.
If there are too many pauses between practice sessions, choose "Extra practice" from the main menu first. This will train only the previous exercises, strengthening the basis.
If you want to finish the course sooner, you can! But make sure you have enough breaks between the individual daily assignments. Do something else in between that does not require you to concentrate. For example, play outside, play sports, chill out...
What is the average age?
Most children who have done the regular version of TypeTopia are around 10-11 years old. But of course it does not matter if you are older. You are never too old to learn. We have also had outliers to higher ages, for example, someone aged 80 has learned to touch type with TypeTopia.
The 13+ version is intended for children in secondary school. The year really does not matter. The storyline of the primary school version has been shortened and the exercise texts have been adapted to the age.
The adult version is intended for parents who want to take the course together with their children. Here, the storyline has been shortened and the practice texts have been adapted as well. But you still have the same modules and games.
The typing games are suited for all ages, fun to do, and you can compare your scores with your children. But watch out because those kids are incredibly fast!
Of how many lessons does the TypeTopia touch typing course exist?
TypeTopia consists of 19 modules, each with 5 daily assignments. In total, there are 95 tasks to do. That is more compared to other online typing courses, which is logical because at TypeTopia we teach you to touch type so you will never forget. And that just takes more time and practice.
How long can I take to complete TypeTopia?
We will help you until you have learned to touch type properly, hitting at least 120 strokes per minute.
Almost everyone finishes the course within a year. Of course, there are exceptions in case of illness or other personal situations that make you take longer.
If your child needs a longer period of time due to personal circumstances, please contact us within the contract period of one year so that we can make an arrangement.
There is no additional charge for this extension.
How much does TypeTopia cost?
The TypeTopia is temporarily at a discount from €159 £139,- pp to £119,- pp And apart from that you can get an extra discoun. If you take part in the group discount with five friends or family members you can even take the TypeTopia touch typing course for GBP 89 per person.
TypeTopia, that is what we call "time management"!
Isn't it strange that it is considered normal to take all kinds of courses to increase productivity at work? But a touch typing course that saves you time every day has not been so easily accepted in this category.
How odd that a skill that you need everyday is considered as something that you will learn through practising often enough. Admittedly, you will increase your speed a bit when typing often. However, when you have acquired the touch typing 10-finger system, you will never want to do without.
Now, we haven't even mentioned "time management" yet! Your speed will increase by 2-5 times by touch typing.
Typing, isn't that something every adult already can do?
Yes, everyone can do a bit of searchin on their keyboard. And if you search a lot, you can find the letters faster. But with TypeTopia, which trains your reflexes, you can find the letters automatically by touch.
Once you can touch type, you type 2-5 times faster. Most importantly, it takes no effort at all. By touch typing, you can fully focus on the content of what you want to type instead of searching letter by letter which takes a lot of energy.
The annual time savings are enormous, because if you look at how much time you spend on the computer, you will be surprised afterwards by the time saved.
