Typing Certificate

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.


Certification may be in the form of a certificate, letter, or test results form and must clearly state the following:

  1. Your name
  2. Name of the issuing agency. Agencies acceptable are a government agency, a temporary employment agency, a business college, an adult school, or a public school system
  3. The date of your test. The test must be dated within 1 year of the final filing date of the recruitment
  4. Gross typing speed, errors and net typing speed of the test. The minimum net typing requirements for these postions are stated on the job announcement
