Typing lessons

72 short lessons across 8 chapters, about five hours of typing in total. Each lesson takes two to three minutes and must be passed at 90% accuracy. Nothing is locked (jump ahead if you want) but the path is built to be taken in order: home row, top row, bottom row, Shift, numbers, symbols, fluency, speed. New to the keyboard? Read how to learn touch typing first, or start at F and J.
