Complete Touch Typing Course

Overview

How many hours do you lose each week looking down at your keyboard, fixing typos, and hunting for keys? For most people, the keyboard is their primary work tool, yet they rely on slow, two-finger typing habits. The Complete Touch Typing Course from LIBM fixes that. This CPD-accredited online Training teaches you the 10-finger touch typing method so you can type fast, accurately, and without ever looking down.

Touch typing means using all ten fingers to type without looking at the keyboard. Your fingers learn to move to the right places automatically instead of searching for letters. You stop hunting for letters. You stop fixing avoidable errors. You focus entirely on your work, your writing, or your daily tasks while your fingers do the rest automatically.

This online touch typing course has 22 structured modules and takes around 2 hours to complete. You will learn the QWERTY layout step by step, covering every single letter, number, punctuation mark, and special character. This setup ensures you develop proper finger placement and permanent muscle memory from day one.

Most beginners type at 20–30 words per minute using the hunt-and-peck method. With just 15–20 minutes of structured daily practice, this course takes you to 40–60+ WPM with a 95%+ accuracy rate. Most active learners double their typing speed in three to four weeks.

From Module 2, you will learn proper posture, hand position, and wrist alignment. These ergonomic techniques can help reduce strain during extended typing sessions while improving comfort, accuracy, and efficiency. This is the guidance that free typing websites never include.

Upon successful completion of the course, you will earn an internationally recognised CPD Certificate from the London Institute of Business and Management ~ LIBM. It is an ideal skill to add to your CV or LinkedIn profile to stand out for administrative jobs, data entry roles, and remote office work. It provides formal recognition of the touch typing skills you have developed during the course, something a score on a free typing website cannot offer.

Your access lasts for 12 full months from the day you enrol. Study on any device. Return to any module. Go at whatever pace fits your life. The course delivers the exact technical skills you need. It is perfect for adults breaking bad typing habits, students preparing for exam essays, or parents helping children learn a vital life skill. No prior typing experience is needed. You can enrol and start your first lesson right now.

Why This Course Beats Free Typing Websites

Free typing tools are fine for a quick warm-up. However, most tools focus on random repetition rather than structured learning. While they may help you become familiar with the keyboard, they rarely teach proper touch typing technique and finger placement. You can spend dozens of hours on a free website and still use the wrong finger on the wrong key.  This Complete Touch Typing Course takes a more professional approach by combining structured lessons, guided practice, and proven typing techniques to help you improve both speed and accuracy.

Our training programme outshines free tools in four critical ways:

• Structured Skill Development – Free sites rely on random text blocks. This course introduces each key with a clear purpose. You practice in a strategic sequence designed to build permanent muscle memory fast.

• Learn Correct Technique – Free tools just show your mistakes. Our structured curriculum helps you actively analyse and fix your bad habits. This professional guidance ensures you do not practice the wrong movements over and over.

• Ergonomics and Posture Training – No free website teaches you how to position your body. Our training includes professional workspace setup tips. Proper form helps you type faster and completely avoids wrist pain or shoulder strain.

• Earn a Professional Certificate – A high score on a free typing game holds no value on a job application. Upon completing this course, you earn an official, CPD-accredited certificate from LIBM. This document serves as legitimate proof of your skills.
