Design notes

On this landscape page, a full keyboard home row runs from Caps Lock to Enter and becomes the base line for the recipient's name. Only the F and J homing bars and the Enter key carry colour. Below the row are the speed and accuracy result, the course, a one-sentence statement and the skills covered. The foot holds two signatures, the duration, test length, level, issue date, credential ID and a QR code. The wide format fits a classroom display or a frame above a desk.

About

Typing Certificate Template, Home Row Landscape

A typing course ends with a timed test. The learner copies a passage for a few minutes, and the result is given as words per minute, counted in standard five-character words, next to an accuracy rate after errors. Primary and secondary schools award it at the end of a keyboarding unit, typing tutors and online courses when a student reaches a set speed, and employers when office or data entry staff pass a skills check.

Wording on the template“Types by touch from the home row with all ten fingers and eyes on the screen, across letters, numbers and symbols, and has passed a timed test of speed and accuracy.”

Hi name,

Keep your fingers on F and J, and well done.

Post for the recipient to share

A few weeks ago I still looked down at the keyboard for every word. Today I passed my timed touch typing test at 60 words per minute with 98% accuracy, and I have the certificate to show for it. Small skill, big difference to my working day. Thank you to my instructor for the patient drills. #TouchTyping #DigitalSkills

Printing

Printing it well

Print at actual size

Choose “Actual size” or 100% in the print dialog, not “Fit to page”, so the margins and the QR code keep their size.

Use card, not paper

A matte or silk card of 200–300 gsm (about 80–110 lb cover) feels like an award and does not curl in a frame.

Frame it

A4 fits a standard 21 × 29.7 cm frame; US Letter fits an 8.5 × 11 in frame, or an 11 × 14 in frame with a mat. Hang it on its side, as designed.

Mind the edges

Most home printers leave a thin white border. For a design that runs to the edge, use a print shop or your printer’s borderless setting.
