Success Stockport, Adult Education

Success Stockport provides adult education courses that make a strong and lasting impact and help participants develop autonomous skills.

We had prior experience running the Touch-type Read and Spell course within a local authority and had found it really inspired confidence in adult learners. That's why we ran it again in our most recent course for 9 unemployed adult learners, some of whom had learning difficulties.

Our students enjoyed using TTRS and acquired the skill of touch-typing at the same time. Many of the learners said it was something they would do outside of school and also felt having the skill of keyboarding would be a great thing to add to their CVs for future job searches.

One student said TTRS taught her not to be afraid of computers. Another said learning typing with TTRS made him more confident and that he was now ready to tackle future computer courses and make more use of online learning platforms.
