Recommended Usage

The course comprises of five easy to follow modules, which can be broken down to suit attention span or time allowing.

Module 1- Flying Start – Explains how the course works and only takes a few minutes.

Module 2 - The Basics – teaches the a-z keys using 5 scientifically structured phrases. This module can be broken down into five 15/20 minute lessons.

Module 3 - Just Do It - offers additional vocabulary to build ‘muscle memory’.

Module 4 - And the Rest – teaches the number and punctuation keys.

Module 5 - Speed Builder – 15/20 minutes of practice per day will help build speed and accuracy, showing results within a couple of weeks.

All licences include a teacher’s lesson plan.

Each learner is different though we would recommend, dependant on the reason for using the platform, that around an hours learning per subject, preferably per day is suitable and will demonstrate impact. Though it is important to note that this is very much dependant on the needs of the learner, this is why we provide flexibilty in our approach.

Trevor Boland, Assistive Technology Officer: Typing skills are a life long skill but unfortunately they have become lost in terms of it's importance, to an extent, in this digital world we are in. Refocusing the attention on digital fundaments will add to the increased digital skills, digital literacy and digtial well being - the ability to be create written content is something we all can and will do so why not have a strong foundation in typing skills to set up your potentail for success. Take the time to invest in this skill and it will pay off in vast amounts in all aspects of your life.
Shawn Miller, Project manager: It is a fantactic program. Step by step, easy to learn. All you have to do is put in the time. I am 48, and never had any experience with touch typing, now after only 5 months, I am at 35-40 words per minute. My goal is to be at 50 by the end of the next month. Somtimes you can teach an old dog new tricks. Additionally, the staff responses to any issue's that I have had has been quick and sorted within days. I never felt any kind of runaround, they generally listened AND took action to responded promptly to any of my concerns. Fantastic product and fantastic company!
Penelope Owen, CEO Children's day nursery but also grandparent: It has been both educational and fun. It is very easy to follow and gives a child a great sense of accomplishment. They can easily see their progress and it encourages them to strive for more.

Farhan Patel, Learning Mentor: This is a great service to use as an educational platform and also as a safeguarding children at home tool
Kyle Dixon, Inclusion Lead: I would recommend EDClass for a number of reasons. The first being the that the customer service team are extremely helpful. No matter which member of the team answers the phone, everyone is always there to help no matter what the query. Genuinely really nice people who are very helpful. Requests are always followed up straight away with no delay which is especially helpful for a school as it is really fast paced and things need to be put in place quickly. The second being the accessibility for staff. The daily attendance alerts you receive via email and text mean that you don't have to make time to look at student attendance on the account. This is helpful for me as I have such a busy schedule and don't have time to look everyday.
John Vincent, Vice Principle: The resources are appropriate for every key stage and the level of work maps into our curriculum. The platform is easy to use for staff and students. The safeguarding elements are a key feature.
