e-type

Person typing on a keyboard

e-type is the fun and flexible way to learn how to type quickly and accurately, and without looking at the keyboard.

It’s perfect for beginners who are new to a computer, as well as those who’ve used computers for years but have never learned to type properly.

The online training program lets you learn at your own pace with no pressure. You can practice at home, work or school - all you need is access to a computer with internet connection.

e-type in the UK is a QCF-accredited qualification which means you achieve an internationally recognised and valued qualification that allows you to formally demonstrate your keyboarding skills.
