How Fast is Your Typing?

Are you happy with how fast you type? Maybe you feel your typing is slowing you down and would like to learn to touch type? Perhaps you already know how to touch type but are interested in knowing your speed?

For the two fingered typist we have the solution … a Touch Typing course you can study on-line that will teach you how to touch type in just 90 minutes!

learndirect scotlandAs a registered learndirect scotland learning centre, Nisus is able to offer this course for free until the end of December this year.

Please note that limited availability applies to this offer.

SQA approved centreIf you already know how to touch type, but would like to prove just how fast you are, for just £20 we can offer you the chance to sit a copy speed typing test accredited by the Scottish Qualifications Authority. Speeds are measured and certificated at 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 or 50 words per minute. The test itself takes less than 15 minutes to complete and, dependent on achieving the minimum speed of 25 words per minute and a set level of accuracy, you will receive an SQA certificate detailing your speed.

So, whether you would like to improve your typing speed, or have your current speed certificated by the SQA, why not contact us? Call Melissa on 0131 555 7928 or Denise on 0131 555 7922 for further details.
