Improving your typing

When so much of our work is typed, it can be frustrating to have slow typing speeds. Not many people learn to touch type, but it is possible to improve your speeds, with a little regular practice each day.

TypingClub is a free online typing tutor that helps you to learn where your fingers should be placed on the keys and you can do an exercise or two each day to help you practise. It is based on the UK/US QWERTY keyboard.

The whole course has 685 exercises! But just one or two a day will lead to improvements in your overall typing speed. Whilst not necessary, it is something that could be a useful investment of time for the future if you are worried about your typing speed.
