It comprises a series of lessons which must be examined by the user in a serial fashion. In every lesson there is practice effected in the fingers of the two hands combining the learning of a key for the right and one key for the left hand. In every new lesson there is a practice following which combines the use of the new keys with the ones that the user has already learned. In the end of each exercise a box is displayed with the number of errors, the accuracy as well as the speed of the keyboard exercise.
