From the Paper:

"For individuals wishing to practice their skills, because TypingMaster has a fully featured web-based tutor, any computer with an Internet connection in the office can study for the test with a virtual tutor, as is also true of the Microsoft Office Specialist. "This hosted service requires no installation or maintenance and you always stay up to date with program improvements." (TypingMaster, 2006, Official Website) Thus the tutoring as well as tests are shorter than those offered by Microsoft Office Specialist, and although the final program offers the worker no incentive of certification, the skills assessed are still necessary, and can be assessed in relatively quicker and easier to administrate fashion, in a small but busy office.
