Enter the number printed on any Typepace certificate and see the run it was issued for. No account, no login, and nothing about the holder beyond what the certificate already shows.
A Typepace certificate carries a number. Enter it above and the registry answers with the record behind it: the name it was issued to, the tier, the speed and accuracy of the qualifying run, and the date.
What that confirms is narrow and worth stating plainly. It confirms we issued that number, to that name, for that result. It does not confirm that the person handing you the certificate is the person who earned it, any more than a printed diploma does.
The check runs from any device and needs no account. Recruiters and agencies are the people it was built for, and asking them to sign up to read a number would have defeated the point.
No, and every certificate says so on its face. No examination body accredits it and no employer has agreed in advance to recognise it.
What it is: a measured record that a stated speed and accuracy happened on a timed assessment, with a number anybody can check. That is more than a self-reported figure on a CV and less than a qualification. Both halves of that sentence matter.
Net words per minute over a run of at least 55 seconds, with accuracy judged on the first attempt at every position. Backspace repairs the text on screen and never the record, so a corrected character still counts as an error. It is a stricter measurement than most typing tests report.
Bronze at 40 words per minute and 90% accuracy, Silver at 60 words per minute and 93% accuracy and Gold at 80 words per minute and 95% accuracy. A run qualifies for the highest tier it clears.
The numbers never move. A certificate records one run and keeps recording that run, so reaching a higher tier later leaves the earlier certificate saying exactly what it said the day it was issued.
The holder's name does follow them. Correct a typo or change your name and every certificate reissues with it, the way a university reissues a diploma after a legal name change.
Either the number was mistyped, or the certificate was earned on a device that has never been signed in. Certificates issued to a signed-out visitor live on that device until the first sign-in, and only reach the registry then.
If you are the holder and your own number will not resolve, sign in on the device that has the certificate and it uploads by itself.
If a candidate has attached a Typepace certificate, the number on it is the only thing you need. Type it above. The answer takes a second and costs nothing.
Treat the result as a measurement rather than a credential: it tells you that a run at that speed and accuracy was recorded on this platform on that date. Whether that is the bar for the role is your call, and our writing on what different jobs actually ask for is on the blog.
