Nigeria Typing Test
English typing practice for Nigerian remote-work, data-entry and customer-support applications.
Last updated
British-convention English
Nigerian written English follows British convention — colour, organise, centre, realise, programme — so this page runs the British passage set rather than the American one. Worth knowing if the client you are hired to support is American: many outsourced accounts require US spelling in customer-facing writing, and the USA typing test is the right place to practise for that.
Typing for remote and outsourced work
Remote and outsourced roles hired from Nigeria — virtual assistance, chat support, data entry and back-office processing — commonly include a typing-speed screen, because the whole job is done through a keyboard. This test reports net WPM, (correct characters ÷ 5) ÷ minutes with uncorrected errors subtracted, plus an accuracy percentage, which is the measure those screens use.
Typing speed for Nigerian roles
| Role | Typical requirement |
|---|---|
| Remote virtual assistant | 40–50 WPM |
| Data entry | 45–60 WPM, high accuracy |
| Customer support / chat support | 35–50 WPM |
| Office / administrative | 35–45 WPM |
Minimums are set by each employer or client rather than by a national standard, so check the listing. For the outsourcing and support side, see the BPO typing test.
