Home Row Typing Skills Badge
Matching certificates
A touch typing badge for learners who type without looking: the F and J home keys with their raised bars sit in a dark keyboard case, bold enough for LinkedIn.

Design notes
This digital badge cuts the keyboard down to the two homing keys. F and J sit on a strip that runs under the edge of a charcoal case, with their raised bars as the only touch of colour, between the fixed words TOUCH TYPING and CERTIFIED. The picture stays clear as a small profile image, so it suits a typing club that wants an award students can share, or a school that issues one badge per speed milestone.
About
Typing Award Badge Template, Home Row Keys
Touch typing means keeping the eyes on the screen while each finger owns its own keys. Learners start with the index fingers resting on F and J, find those keys by the small raised bars, and build speed in drills until a timed test proves the habit. Keyboarding classes, typing clubs, adult education centres and employers who train data entry or office staff give a badge when a learner reaches a target speed and accuracy.

Post for the recipient to share
A few weeks ago I still looked down at the keyboard for every word. Today I passed my timed touch typing test at 60 words per minute with 98% accuracy, and I have the certificate to show for it. Small skill, big difference to my working day. Thank you to my instructor for the patient drills. #TouchTyping #DigitalSkills
