Gain your Duke of Edinburgh Skills Award with QWERTY Type — where every session is taught live by qualified, experienced teachers.
Unlike most touch typing courses, our tutors are fully qualified, experienced teachers — not just fast typists. Our live online course runs across 12 weekly one-hour sessions via Zoom, plus one offline session, in small, friendly groups, with real-time tuition every step of the way. Sessions run Monday or Tuesday evenings, 5.30–6.30pm, making it easy to fit around school life.
As founders, we personally teach every session — so you always know exactly who is guiding you. We have successfully helped hundreds of DofE students become confident touch typists, including those with dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADHD, ASD and other neurodiverse profiles.
Your course includes our colour-coded QWERTY Type keyboard, a downloadable typing programme, a full Student’s Pack and your DofE Assessor’s Report — everything you need from day one.
Each student progresses at their own pace. After just 3 months, expect to achieve your Certificate of Touch Typing with at least 90% accuracy and 30+ words per minute. Many of our students reach 50wpm and beyond.
Whether you’re writing essays, completing your EPQ, or filling in your UCAS form — touch typing with QWERTY Type is a skill that will serve you for life.
