Good keyboard skills are essential.
This involves the entire keyboard, extended keys, function keys and numbers.
Talking Typer from American Printing House is a good program for improving your keyboard skills.
You can download a demo that will run for 15 minutes at a time before purchasing.

If you are interested in going to work. It would be reasonable to learn the Narrator screen reader.
Microsoft has done a fantastic job improving Narrator in Windows 10.
It would be an advantage to state at the interview that you are able to begin working immediately if the employer has a Windows 10 computer as you know Narrator well.
Although, Jaws and NVDA still offer tools that Narrator has not yet developed. Having the ability to start a job without needing to install Jaws is a good reason to learn Narrator as your secondary screen reader.
My training philosophy is to show students to first navigate Windows and Office relying on Microsoft commands rather than specific screen reader commands so you can set down at any computer using any AT software and confidently navigate the OS and Office environments.
Only after understanding the window controls, specific program features and navigation methods do we really focus on screen reader techniques.
Recordings of the training session will be provided along with much documentation with detailed steps and hotkey commands.
After class hours remote support will be available while participating in training sessions.
