Can I do a trial lesson at TypeTopia?
Of course! Experience for yourself how TypeTopia works. You will be amazed at how quickly we can teach your child and you to type blind. There is a free trial lesson for children and a separate trial lesson for parents which is set up more as a demo and also explains how the system works.
How long does the TypeTopia touch typing course take?
Each daily assignment takes about 20 minutes. You choose how often you want to practice per week in your online schedule. Five, four or three times a week. There are 100 exciting missions, so bring it on.
- 5 x p/w = exam after 20 weeks
- 4 x p/w = exam after 25 weeks
- 3 x p/w = exam after 33 weeks
If you want to finish the course sooner, you can! But make sure you have enough breaks between the individual daily assignments. Do something else in between that does not require you to concentrate. For example, play outside, play sports, chill out…
Please note! TypeTopia takes a bit longer than other online touch typing courses. This is because we teach touch typing, guaranteed, so you become much faster.
How much should you practise each day or week?
When learning the keyboard, it is important to practise frequently with as few breaks in between as possible.
Each daily assignment takes about 20 minutes. The daily assignments are structured in such a way that we first start by repeating what was introduced last time. This is followed by a new letter or symbol which is practised sufficiently so that you will be able to find it again next time.
If there are too many pauses between practice sessions, choose “Extra practice” from the main menu first. This will train only the previous exercises, strengthening the basis.

What is the average age?
Most children who have done the regular version of TypeTopia are around 10-11 years old. But of course it does not matter if you are older. You are never too old to learn. We have also had outliers to higher ages, for example, someone aged 80 has learned to touch type with TypeTopia.
The 13+ version is intended for middle school children. The class really doesn’t matter. The storyline of the primary school version has been shortened and the exercise texts are age-appropriate.
The adult version is intended for parents who want to take the course together with their children. Here, the storyline has been shortened and the practice texts have been adapted as well. But you still have the same modules and games.
The typing games are suited for all ages, fun to do, and you can compare your scores with your children. But watch out because those kids are incredibly fast!
Of how many lessons does the TypeTopia touch typing course exist?
TypeTopia consists of 19 modules, each with 5 daily assignments. In total, there are 95 tasks to do. That is more compared to other online typing courses, which is logical because at TypeTopia we teach you to touch type so you will never forget. And that just takes more time and practice.
How long can I take to complete TypeTopia?
We will help you until you have learned to touch type properly, hitting at least 120 strokes per minute.
Almost everyone finishes the course within a year. Of course, there are exceptions in case of illness or other personal situations that make you take longer.
If your child needs a longer period of time due to personal circumstances, please contact us within the contract period of one year so that we can make an arrangement.
There is no additional charge for this extension.
