A Vital component of all Skills and Training Programmes - Unlocking Productivity in the Digital Age with Touch Typing 

In today’s fast-paced digital world, typing has evolved from a useful ability into an essential life skill. Whether you're working in administration, tech, education, or customer service, your ability to type quickly and accurately can significantly influence your productivity. That's why touch typing is increasingly being included in skills training packages* across schools, businesses, and employment support programs.

But not all typing courses are created equal—especially when it comes to inclusivity. That’s where KAZ Type, an award-winning touch typing software, stands out.

Why Touch Typing Matters

Touch typing—the ability to type without looking at the keyboard—offers numerous benefits:

Speed and Efficiency: Users can typically double or even triple their typing speed after training.

Accuracy: Touch typists make fewer errors, reducing the time spent correcting mistakes.

Focus and Engagement: Without the need to look at the keyboard, users can concentrate more on content and thought flow.

Professionalism: In the workplace, fast and accurate typing enhances credibility and supports smoother communication.

When integrated into a broader skills training package, touch typing serves as a foundational tool that supports many other digital skills, from coding and data entry to report writing and email communication.

A Special Focus: Neurodiverse Learners

For neurodiverse individuals—those with challenges such as dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADHD, autism, or visual stress—the right typing program can do more than boost productivity; it can build confidence and unlock potential.

KAZ Type has been developed with inclusion at its core with advice and guidance from the Dyslexia Research and the Thomas Pocklington Trusts. Backed by the British Dyslexia Association and designed using a unique Accelerated Learning teaching method, the KAZ neurodiverse edition offers:

Multi-sensory instruction (audio, visual, and kinesthetic learning)

Customisable fonts and background colours to reduce visual stress

Distraction-free interface for better concentration

Clear audio narration to support auditory processing challenges

These features make KAZ not just a typing tutor, but a confidence-building tool that empowers neurodiverse learners to thrive.

For Employers and Educators

Incorporating touch typing into your skills training package* is a strategic move. It’s a scalable skill that suits learners of all ages and backgrounds. For employers, offering typing courses shows a commitment to digital upskilling and inclusive development. For educators, it's a practical way to enhance students’ learning outcomes across the curriculum. 

The facts and stats:

From 2000+ monthly free typing tests taken on our KAZ website over the past 4 years, 71.6% of the ‘typists’ typed at an average speed of 19wpm. That’s more than 7 out of 10 people unable to type efficiently.
