Obtaining a Typing Certificate

Certain positions may require a typing certificate to demonstrate they meet the minimum typing requirements for the position. If a typing certificate is required, it will be clearly noted on the job flyer for the position. Candidates who fail to provide a typing certificate by the final filing date will be disqualified from the examination process. The Human Resources Department will not be administering typing tests to candidates.
