We are delighted to have partnered with Open Awards and to have produced the only National Ofqual Regulated Qualifications in touch typing skills - entry levels 1 and 2. Ideal for individuals, education and business settings. 

There is no minimum age requirement. All successful candidates are awarded a digital certificate and have the qualification added to their education record if a valid Unique Learner Number is entered.

Is there a better way to prepare students for FE/HE and prove to prospective employers they are ready for the workplace? 

There are two levels available - Level 1 and Level 2. We have designed the admin panel so teachers/administrators do not have to decide which 'level' to allocate at the onset. They can assign their preferred level to each student and monitor the results of their 'Practice Tests’ before allocating the final level. However, once they register their students for the 'Assessment', the level cannot be changed as this will be automatically uploaded to the OA portal.
