October half term
Intensive Touch-Typing Initiative


Achieve Now is running an intensive touch typing course in October half term. More information can be found here.

This course has been specially designed to minimise expense and inconvenience for parents, while maximising flexibility, allowing students to practice (which is vital for success) whenever and wherever it’s convenient. 

The structure of the course enables this important life skill to be mastered over the short school holiday.

Day 1  Saturday 26th October Refresh Centre, East Molesey, KT8 0DT
From 10.30am-5.00pm.

Students will be taught to touch type correctly and how to use technology to get better grades.

The high staff to student ratios will ensure that the touch typing technique is embedded by the end of the first day.
 
Days 2-8  27 October – 6 November 2019 Wherever there is WiFi connection.

Students are expected to practise typing for a minimum of 1 hour a day.

Students will be set typing practice and games to play each day.

There will be daily half hour webinars at 5pm.

The webinars while not mandatory will keep them on track and give space for feedback.

We understand if students are not able to attend all the webinars

For who?

This course is specifically geared at children in Years 9-11, although Caroline will consider those in lower school years. The age restriction is due to the intensive nature of the course that requires a degree of maturity.
