Starting Out
Improving your typing has never been easier. This award-winning program uses proven and tested typing instruction together with a fun travel theme. The instruction is organized into lessons, tests, and practice material, all aimed at making you a better typist. Your typing adventure starts at the Main Terminal. From there you can explore all the sections of the Typing Instructor.

Lessons
Typing Instructor uses easy-to-follow "Next Step" lessons to put you in command of the keyboard. Using proven teaching methods, such as double and repetitive key-stroking, your fingers develop memories for correct touch typing techniques. 3D graphical hands help guide you to correct finger placement and key stroking. Typing Instructor even lets you remove the "Hands Guide" when it is no longer needed.

Tests
Each unique test will challenge you to type the keys you learned in the lessons you've just completed. Tests reinforce the skills you've practiced and provide a measurement of your progress as a typist. The typing tests allow you to experience sights and sounds from around the world. Travel to 12 countries, completing your typing passport as you improve your skills.
