After nearly a full year of offering our official typing certificates for a very affordable price, we’ve decided to make them even more affordable… FREE!

Backed by the Typing Institute of America, our official Typing Certificates have helped thousands of job seekers all over the world get jobs and improve the validity of their resumes. In a move that may be crazy on our part, we’ve now made them completely free!

We realize that if you are in the market for typing certification, you are in the market for a new job. If you are in the market for a new job, the last thing you want to do is pull out your credit card and spend more money! Just like our awesome typing lessons, there’s no reason our beautiful certificates shouldn’t be free as well.

While certificates are now free, we will still be shipping out embossed, hand-signed certificates on hard-copy paper for the same affordable $10 price.

In case you haven’t noticed, we’ve released a brand new MAJOR addition to TypingWeb, known as the Teacher Portal. Using this great tool, teachers can now manage, report on, and grade their students all from a single, easy to use online tool. And the best part? It’s FREE!

We’ve been receiving more and more calls from schools with severe budget cuts, or non profits and community outreach centers who are struggling to survive, looking for a typing tutor to either replace their old, antiquated software, or to add a new service for their students or community. Unfortunately these schools do not have the budget for an official school typing tutor, such as TypingWeb’s sister product TypingAce, but need a way to manage their students. While teachers, a naturally industrious bunch, have devised ways to grade their students who use the free TypingWeb, having 100 students print their statistics page every week is not exactly environmentally friendly!

So what exactly does this Teacher Portal allow you to do?

• Grade and track student’s progress and improvement.
• Create & manage your student roster.
• Teach TypingWeb’s full, engaging typing curriculum.
• Save your school tons of money!
• Ensure your students or children are sticking to their typing course.

So what are you waiting for? Go sign up for your free account now!

Uh oh, a big scary monster is attacking the city! It’s up to you speedy typists to save us!

One of the most asked for additions to TypingWeb is more typing games. Both kids and adults love a fun, engaging break from their standard typing lessons while still getting their typing practice in. We think we’ve found the perfect mix of entertainment while testing your typing prowess with our newest typing game, Typing Monster!

Twitter has taken the world by storm. Everyone knows what everyone is doing at all times. And you are spending your quality time at TypingWeb, so… it’s time to show your amazing typing skills off to all your friends!

The long awaited TypingWeb + Twitter integration has finally arrived. You are spending your hard-earned time improving your typing speed and accuracy, and now, with the click of a button, you can let everyone know how amazing you are – or whatever you want to tell them – we don’t care!

TypingWeb has been helping the world learn to type for 10 years now, and what a trip it’s been. And while we’ve been enjoying our little site, and our millions of happy users, we decided to kick it up a notch.. BAM! And so we all sat down one day, and one of our crack team said, “What if we rebuilt TypingWeb from scratch.” Some of us snickered, and some of us stared wide-eyed. But then we all had a “hmmm” moment, and it clicked – why not?

And from that fateful comment, a new typing tutor was born. Not a scratch of code was reused. We laid out every feature we could dream of. “All new professionally designed skins?” OK! “Oh, I think we should support every major world keyboard format!” Sure. “Can we translate this so the entire world can use it?” I suppose so. And so, without further adieu, here’s a brief list of new features for your enjoyment.
