Due to numerous requests from teachers for a recognised qualification in  touch typing to validate their learners’ digital skills, KAZ Type partnered  with Open Awards to produce the qualification - Level 1 (4 credits) &  Level 2 (6 credits), which will add to successful candidate’s educational  records. 

Despite the current climate and the fact that teaching the skill is not on  the curriculum, independent and state schools are showing interest in  entering their KS3 and SEN pupils for the exam to prepare them for  further/higher education and the future. Colleges are planning to offer the  qualifications to their learners to prepare them for the workplace. 

The inclusive touch typing course and qualification, suitable for both  mainstream and neuro-divergent learners, is available to individuals,  schools, colleges, businesses and organisations who wish to upskill their  staff.

Duke of Edinburgh Award 

Having recently become an Accredited Skills Provider for the Duke of  Edinburgh Award’s Scheme, KAZ Type is offering youngsters the chance  to attain a duet of accomplishments. They are offering participants the  opportunity to learn the modern day ‘life skill’ of touch typing towards the  ‘skills’ section of their Bronze, Silver and Gold awards and gain a National  qualification at the same time – achieving both award and qualification  simultaneously.  

Ethos 

The company’s ethos is to educate and make a difference in all learner’s  lives through innovation and technology. They already offer courses suitable for both mainstream and neuro-divergent learners and are  currently working with the Thomas Pocklington Trust to develop and  produce an edition which will meet the needs of the visually impaired.
