Certificates have a snobbery problem.
The unspoken assumption is that they're for the impressive — that you earn one by being fast, advanced, exceptional. If you type 35 words a minute, the idea of a "typing certificate" feels like it isn't meant for you. So you never bother, and you never get the one thing a certificate is actually good for: a clear, verifiable record of where you genuinely stand.
TypeLords takes the opposite view. There's a certificate at every level — from the typist still finding the keys to the one breaking 150 — because certifying where you are is valuable at anyspeed. A Beginner certificate isn't a consolation prize. It's an honest marker of a real milestone, on a verifiable link, exactly like the Elite one. Whatever kind of typist you are, there's proof with your name on it.
- A typing certificate isn't only for the fast.
- TypeLords certifies at all seven tiers — Beginner to Elite.
- Plus a custom certificate for any target you set.
- Every certificate is verifiable on a public URL.
- A Beginner certificate is as real as an Elite one.
- Whatever your speed, there's proof for it.
A certificate for everyone, not just the fast
TypeLords issues a verifiable typing test certificate at every tier — from Beginner (20–30 WPM) to Elite (150+) — plus a custom certificate for any target you set. Whatever your speed, there's a real certificate that records exactly where you are. The point isn't to hand out participation trophies; it's that an honest record of your current level is genuinely useful no matter what that level is.
Think about who actually needs proof. A student building toward an exam threshold wants to show progress from one tier to the next. A job-seeker wants to certify the specific speed a role asks for. Someone learning to type properly wants a milestone to mark how far they've come. None of those people are necessarily fast — and all of them are better served by a certificate than by a number they can only claim.
Every tier earns a certificate
The seven levels each certify their own tier, by duration and speed band. Clear a tier and the certificate is yours — and the custom option adds an eighth path for any goal that doesn't fit the presets.
The named tiers run from a one-minute Beginner test up to a seven-minute Elite one, mapped out in full in the seven-tier guide. The custom certificate comes from Customize a Test, where you set your own time, speed, and accuracy targets and certify the moment you hit them. Between the eight, there isn't a typist alive who can't earn a certificate that means something to them.
What's actually on the certificate
A certificate is only worth earning if it records something real. Every TypeLords certificate captures the full picture of your result — not just a speed, but the conditions that make the speed trustworthy — and lives on a public URL anyone can open.
Speed, accuracy, and duration together — never speed alone — because a fast number with hidden errors proves nothing. The issue date and the verifiable URL are what turn it from a screenshot into a credential: someone can open the link and confirm it's real, which is the entire difference between proof and a claim. That's the same standard we hold every honest test to in the case for a test worth bookmarking.
How to earn yours
The path is the same whatever tier you're aiming for. Pick a level that fits, or build a custom test, clear the target, and the certificate is generated for you.
And if your first attempt lands you a tier lower than you hoped, that certificate still matters — it's your honest starting line. Come back after some structured practice and certify the next tier up. The ladder is built to be climbed, one verifiable rung at a time.
Where TypeLords fits in
TypeTest is free to use, and the certificate is what you walk away with — at any level. The rest of the platform is how you reach the next one:
You don't have to be fast to deserve a certificate. You have to be honest about where you are — and willing to prove it. There's a tier for that, whoever you are.
A certificate isn't a trophy for being fast. It's a verifiable record of where you honestly stand — and that's worth having at every level.

- TypeLords certifies all seven tiers, Beginner to Elite.
- A custom certificate covers any target you set.
