Certificate

Prove how fast you type

We issue a certificate for your best passed test to accounts with paid access. Each one has a code an employer can use to confirm it's genuine - no account needed, and no need to ask us. The typing speed test itself is free for everyone.

How to earn a certificate

  1. 01

    Take a typing speed test

    Tests are free and don't require a purchase - you only need an account so we can save your result. The longest texts, 1379 to 1485 characters, are in the certificate test group: on a longer text, your result depends less on luck.

  2. 02

    Improve it as often as you like

    There's no limit on attempts, and a weaker one doesn't hurt: your certificate uses your best test - the one with the highest grade, or the faster one if the grades are equal. Your result is saved even if you don't have paid access yet.

  3. 03

    Get your certificate

    Once your best result passes the threshold and your account has paid access, a button to get the certificate appears on this page. Before that, we ask for your full name - it's printed in the largest type on the document.

  4. 04

    Download and print

    You get a print-ready PDF in A4 landscape, plus a code and a link anyone can use to check your result.

We issue the document itself to accounts with paid access, but you can take the test earlier: your result stays saved, so after you buy access you can get your certificate without retaking the test. See the test texts or check pricing.

Breakdown

Certificate award rules

Your grade depends on two numbers at once - speed and accuracy. Both conditions must be met together: speed with many errors doesn't raise your grade, and neither does accurate typing at a slow pace.

Speed and accuracy thresholds for each certificate grade
GradeSpeedAccuracy
Junior specialistover 36 WPMover 97%
Specialistover 50 WPMover 98%
Senior specialistover 60 WPMover 99%
Expertover 70 WPMover 99.5%
Masterover 90 WPMover 99.5%

The first row is also the entry threshold: until your result is over 36 WPM and 97% at the same time, we don't issue a certificate. The document shows the grade from your best result, next to both numbers we calculated it from.

  • Your result comes from a test on the site. Not from a self-report or from numbers sent by your browser - we use the result we recorded while you typed.
  • Your best attempt counts. You can take tests as many times as you like and choose any text; your certificate uses the test with the highest grade, or the faster one if the grades are equal.
  • A certificate requires paid access. The tests stay free for everyone - you pay only for the course and the document.
  • Once issued, it stays valid. The code keeps working even after your course access ends. We don't revoke issued certificates.
  • It's not an official government document. It confirms the result measured on the day of the test, nothing more - but anyone can verify that result at any time. The full rules are in the terms of service.

For employers

How to check someone's certificate

A code instead of trust

Each certificate has its own code, printed on the document together with the address of the page that shows it. Entering the code in the field at the top of this page opens the confirmation: full name, grade, speed, accuracy, and issue date. Checking is public - it needs neither an account nor the holder's permission.

What the result means

Speed is given in words per minute (WPM), where one word is 5 characters, counting every typed character including spaces. Accuracy is the share of characters typed correctly on the first try. The grade shows which row of the table above the candidate falls into - and since both numbers must clear the threshold at once, it reflects care as well as pace.

What the code doesn't tell you: who was at the keyboard. The certificate confirms a result saved on an account under the given name - if you want a supervised measurement, ask the candidate to take the test in front of you. It's free and takes a few minutes.

Document

Sample certificate

The certificate comes as a print-ready PDF in A4 landscape. It shows the holder's full name, grade, the speed and accuracy from their best test, the issue date, and an address with a code where anyone can check these numbers.

Only the certificate holder can download the file, after logging in to their account - so here we show just the blank template. The confirmation page, on the other hand, is open to everyone and is enough to verify the document.
