How long does it take a student to learn how to type using all ten fingers?

It takes less than 10 hours to learn to type with 10 fingers at about 15 words per minute and another 5 hours to reach hand writing speed of about 20 WPM. The best way is to learn over a short period of time. A lesson a day over 10 days and a further 5 days of practice-typing is recommended.

If you have the energy we have a 2 day plan which is included in your Typequick User Guide. It is not for the faint hearted but will build your skill quickly!
