Touch typing uses all fingers on the keyboard - without looking at the keyboard. And if you thought that fast, accurate keyboard skills disappeared with the typewriter, think again: although so-called "hunt and peck" two fingered typing is usually the norm today, the ability to touch type can save up to 10 hours per week. Speedier and more accurate typing enables more efficient search for information on the web, enhanced emailing and Instant Messageing (IM) correspondence and more accurate data input. However the benefits extend beyond time saving by encouraging improved posture and reduction from risk of RSI and neck strain by using the keyboard in a more ergonomic manner. 

The qualification is simple to follow as students learn at their own pace. Each student has three attempts at the final test which is graded at three levels: bronze: 20 words per minute; silver: 40 words per minute and gold: 60 words per minute. Student then receive a BCS certificate showing achieved speed which can be shown as part of a prospective job application.
