Objective:

In recent years, CPTTM strives hard to promote Macau Information and Technology development as well as developments in other aspects. Especially after the handover of Macau, Chinese plays an important part and it becomes one of the official languages. In this case, Chinese character input is very important. In order to promote the usage of Chinese, ITEA, DSAL and CPTTM established the "Chinese Character Input Skill Testing Center". We will use a fair, righteous and objective standard to test our students. This can allow students to understand their typing speed of Chinese character and also as a means to prove their working ability. Therefore, the Chinese Character Input Skill Testing Center started its operation on 19/07/2003. To show the solemnity of this opening ceremony, we held a press conference before the examination begins. The examination will be arranged on each month and there will be at most sixteen candidates attending the examination. The number of examinations will be adjusted according to the market demand.

Assessment:

The examination is divided into two sessions: The first session will require candidates to type fifteen or more than fifteen difficult Chinese characters accurately within ten minutes. Successful candidates will then enter the second session or else will be judged as failed. The second session will require students to type ordinary Chinese characters at a speed of twenty-five words per minute or more within twenty minutes. Those who pass the assessments will be awarded qualified certification from the above organizations (ITEA, DSTE, CPTTM).
