About the course
A free, self-paced touch-typing course — 36 lessons that take you from the home row to confident, eyes-on-screen typing. No account needed to practise; sign in only if you want a certificate at the end.
Each lesson introduces a small set of keys and drills them against everything you already know, so a drill never contains a letter you haven’t met. Reviews at the end of each section put the whole section back together in real words. The whole course is six sections:
- Foundations — Home row and touch typing
- Top row — Reaching up without looking
- Bottom row — Reaching down, still not looking
- Punctuation & capitals — Shift, commas, quotes
- Numbers & symbols — The number row and friends
- Speed & rhythm — Drills, endurance, graduation
Lessons work best on a laptop or desktop with a real keyboard: that is what touch typing teaches, and a measurement of your fingers against a touch screen is a different sport. If you’re on a phone, the lesson list is still browsable — come back on a laptop to practise.
