Keyboard layout · QWERTY
You already type QWERTY. Now get fast.
No layout switch required. QWERTY typists can and do reach high speeds — the fastest participants in the 136-million-keystroke Aalto study exceeded 150 WPM. This course takes you from knowing the keys to fluent capitals, punctuation, numbers, and real-world passages.
Lifetime access · first 2 lessons free · 30-day money-back guarantee
What you'll be able to do
- Complete 200 lessons across three courses (about 17.2 hours of guided practice)
- Type common words, bigrams, trigrams, and full sentences without pausing on relocated keys
- Use left and right Shift correctly for every capital, including title case and abbreviations
- Type every number, symbol, and punctuation mark — @, #, $, %, brackets, quotes — with confidence
- Hold speed through multi-paragraph endurance runs and zero-mistake accuracy gauntlets
- Clear your weakest keys with targeted recovery drills based on your own stats
Who it's for
This course is for
- QWERTY typists who use shared or public machines, switch devices often, or simply have no interest in relearning a layout
- Anyone who finished the free QWERTY beginner course and hit the post-beginner plateau
- Typists who want capitals, punctuation, and the number row as automatic as the home row
- Writers, students, and developers who need endurance on long passages, not just short bursts
Probably not for
- Anyone who has not finished the free QWERTY beginner course yet — do that first, it is free
- Typists who want a one-off speed test rather than structured practice
- People planning to switch layouts soon — buy the mastery track for the layout you will actually use

Why fluency matters on QWERTY (US)
QWERTY typists can and do reach high speeds — the fastest participants in the 136-million-keystroke Aalto study exceeded 150 WPM. The ceiling is not the layout — it is untrained capitals, punctuation, and endurance.
QWERTY sessions on SureTyping track every keystroke with per-letter and per-word accuracy, so the drills target the exact keys that are still slow.
