This typing certificate page turns a 60-second typing test into a document. You complete the exam, type the name you want printed, and download a PDF typing certificate recording your WPM, accuracy, error count, date, and a unique test ID — the typing certificate is generated entirely in your browser in about a second.
Use it as proof of practice for a portfolio, a class assignment, a personal milestone, or a self-check before an official assessment. The typing certificate is free, unlimited, and honest about what it is: a practice result document, not a government or industry credential.
01How the typing certificate works
Three steps separate you from the typing certificate document, and none of them involve an account:
- Complete the 60-second typing test above — the timer starts with your first keystroke.
- Enter the name to print on the typing certificate.
- Click download; the PDF is generated in your browser and saved to your device.
What the certificate contains
Each typing test certificate records the printed name, net typing speed in WPM, accuracy percentage, error count, test duration, the issue date, and a test ID generated per download. The footer of every certificate states plainly what the document is: the result of an online practice typing test.
02Is this typing certificate official?
No — and it says so on the document itself. This typing certificate is a practice record: it reports the result of an online typing test taken in your browser, without proctoring or identity verification. It is not a government-issued, accredited, or independently proctored certification, and you should not present it as one.
What it is useful for: demonstrating engagement in a typing course, attaching a measurable result to a student portfolio, tracking your own progress across months, or showing a recruiter that you practice deliberately. When a situation demands a verified credential — some recruitment processes, court reporting programs, or administrative exams — the honest path is a proctored assessment, and this page is the rehearsal for it.
03How the test behind the typing certificate is measured
The exam behind the certificate uses the same engine and scoring as every test on this site. Net WPM counts correctly typed characters divided by five per minute; accuracy counts correct keystrokes against all scored keystrokes; errors are the wrong keystrokes you made, including ones you repaired with Backspace. Pasting is disabled for the certificate test specifically — a certificate earned by pasting is not a certificate.
Because the PDF is generated client-side, the typing certificate result travels from your keyboard to your download folder without touching a server. There is no database of your attempts and no account linking them together; the test ID exists so the document can reference itself, not so it can be looked up.
04Who uses an online typing certificate?
Typical uses are practical and personal: students finishing a keyboarding module who need evidence of a target speed; administrative and data-entry applicants building a practice portfolio ahead of an employer’s own test; remote workers self-certifying a baseline for job boards; and typists who want a dated milestone — “67 WPM, September” — pinned above the desk.
Employers generally accept such documents as evidence of practice rather than as credentials. Acceptance always depends on the organization, and this site makes no claim that the typing certificate is accredited or proctored. If the posting asks for a certified typing speed, take the proctored exam — and use this typing certificate page until the real one stops being scary.
05Tips for a certificate-worthy score
A typing certificate is only as good as the typing test behind it, so prepare like it matters:
- Warm up with two or three untimed paragraph practice runs before taking the certified attempt.
- Sit properly for the full 60 seconds — the clock does not pause and neither should your posture.
- Aim for 96%+ accuracy; a clean 62 WPM reads better than a sloppy 71.
- Retake the typing certificate test freely and download your best honest run.
- Reprint a fresh typing certificate every few months to keep the date current.

Frequently asked questions
How do I get this typing certificate?
Complete the 60-second typing test on this page, enter your name in the result panel, and click download. The typing certificate PDF is generated in your browser instantly — no account, no fee, no waiting for the typing certificate.
Is the typing certificate free?
Yes. The typing test certificate is free and unlimited: every completed test can be downloaded as a fresh PDF with a new test ID and the current date.
Is this an accredited typing certification?
No. The certificate documents the result of an online practice typing test and says so in its footer. It is not government-issued, accredited, or independently proctored, and this site never claims otherwise.
Do employers accept an online typing certificate?
Acceptance depends entirely on the employer. Many treat it as evidence of practice; roles that require a verified typing speed usually ask for a proctored assessment. Use this typing certificate for portfolios and self-tracking, and treat official exams separately.
What score appears on the typing certificate?
The typing certificate prints your net WPM, accuracy percentage, error count, and the 60-second duration, plus your name, the date, and a test ID. Net WPM counts only correctly typed characters — the same standard used across this site.
Can I retake the test for a better certificate?
As many times as you like. Each finished run shows its own result, and each download creates a new typing certificate with a fresh test ID. The typing certificate from your best honest run is the one worth keeping.
Is my name or score stored anywhere?
No. The typing certificate PDF is built in your browser and saved directly to your device. There is no account, no database record, and no upload of your name, score, or typed text.
Can I print the typing certificate?
Yes — the typing certificate PDF is sized A4 landscape and prints cleanly in color or grayscale. The layout keeps the key numbers readable even on a black-and-white printer.
