Q. What is the difference between Typequick for Students and
Typequick Professional?
A. Typequick for Students has an animated adventure built into the famous
TYPEQUICK structured course. Students set off on an interactive adventure with
Kewala around Australia visiting new places and meeting new characters as they
learn the keys of the keyboard and evolve new typing skills. It's full of
interesting challenges, bonuses, adventures, animation, music and fun.
Typequick Professional is a more formal course. It has sound and some animation
to simulate correct finger usage but it does not centre around an adventure nor
does the text typed build a story.
Both courses contain the same proven learning techniques, effective remediation
and instant feedback. Both courses contain a learning the keyboard course,
speed and accuracy courses, keypad course and punctuation course.
Both courses can be used with users from 6 years. |

Q. Does TYPEQUICK use a structured, recognised teaching method?
A. The student is guided thought the logically planned and structured course.
This avoids the anxiety inducing choices found in other typing programs.
Exercises are mainly sentences with limited random letter drills. The course is
used by over four million people in 11 countries. It is internationally
acclaimed and used by teachers and professionals in over 3,000 schools,
colleges and universities.

Q. Do your courses teach posture and correct finger positioning?
A. Yes, as we believe it is essential. The first lesson tells them all about
it. A section in the online help also teaches health and typing posture.

Q. I failed with another typing program so maybe it is too difficult to
learn?
A. Unfortunately most other typing tutors drill and kill any enthusiasm to
learn. They have low grade games tacked onto boring exercises which might
interest someone for a few minutes. They often offer the user too many options
so they jump around the course instead of following a structured path. Learning
to type with the TYPEQUICK system is one of the easiest skills to learn. It's
not just a software program. People of all ages with big and small hands have
learned. TYPEQUICK really works quickly. It is even guaranteed! |

Q. What guarantee does Typequick offer?
A. If within 30 days of purchase, and after completing all TYPEQUICK lessons,
you have not improved your keyboard skills then simply return the TYPEQUICK
materials, a printed proficiency statement, your purchase receipt and the
reasons for your dissatisfaction to Typequick for a full refund. |

Q. How many people have claimed on your money back guarantee?
A. We guarantee to teach you to touch type. More than 99.999% of our clients

Q. I have completed the TYPEQUICK course and want a certificate?
A. As we are unable to test you under test conditions Typequick is unable to
issue certificates. Most employers would accept a print out of your results or
Proficiency Statement where it states the lessons completed and your average
typing speed and accuracy. If necessary there are many colleges that can test
you under test conditions. Contact Typequick for details. |
