There are a whole mixture of exercises on this program and in some lessons, on-screen hands type along with you, demonstrating where your fingers should go on the keyboard. The opportunities that you are given to customise this program makes it equally effective for beginners, busy executives and admin assistants who want to improve their skills.
There are some people who are probably put off using software programs to learn to type because they find them too impersonal. One of the main strengths of this program is that it goes out of its way to create a traditional classroom feel. You get friendly voiceovers as Mavis Beacon introduces herself, shows you around and encourages you to improve your skills.
You can be taught in either Spanish or English and it's not all work. In the game hallway, there are eight entertaining games which help to build your typing speeds and accuracy. In one game, you click on keyboard characters to make colourful bugs quickly disappear.
Overall this is a very slick typing program which offers plenty of variety to keep you interested and the games are enjoyable enough to keep enticing you back
