EduTyping provides a standard, online-based keyboarding course for middle and high school students and a junior curriculum for elementary school students. The grading is automatic, and students receive immediate feedback.
The EduTyping Standard Curriculum contains lessons on typing letters, common symbols, and numbers on the numeric keypad. Students begin with a review of the "home" row keys, and review lessons cover all keys learned.

Both curricula offer practice libraries and timed drills, and EduTyping offers a free 30-day trial for teachers and administrators.
