Our Basic Keyboarding course is designed to help students achieve a verifiable benchmark of essential typing skills. Most employers require a typing speed of 40 WPM (Words Per Minute) with 96% accuracy, which is considered an average typing speed. In this course, our goal is to help students reach a typing speed of 45 WPM with 97% accuracy. This course is a recommended prerequisite for the Microsoft Word module for students who type below 45 WPM with 96% accuracy.

By completing this course, you will not only improve your typing speed and accuracy but also gain skills that will help you in any job or industry. Typing efficiently is a valuable life skill, and having a certified typing certificate can give employers confidence in your abilities, knowing your skills are verifiable.

Benefits of Keyboarding for Employers:

• Improved time efficiency
• Enhanced computer and technology use
• Better writing and communication skills
• Increased productivity through effective typing

In addition to the certified typing certificate, this course covers key workplace skills such as professionalism, career preparation, time management, communication, collaboration, and basic office technology. Once you've completed this module, you’ll have the speed and accuracy needed to excel in the Microsoft Office Word module and gain the confidence required to become an effective office support staff member.



Academics Academy has partnered with several employment agencies that proctor the certified typing exam. Upon completing the course, contact your Admissions Counselor to schedule your certification exam.
