"I was a copy-editor for a market research business for five years and wanted to work in mainstream publishing. However, I needed more specialised training for editing books, and this led me to Essential Proofreading. The course was packed with the information needed to be a freelancer, including practise exercises to help develop my editing skills, and my tutor was generous with feedback. Since completing the course, I’ve proofread several books for publishers." Taliha Quadri, Freelance Proofreader; Managing Director, The Selkie
“Overall, I was delighted with the results. I learned a lot and the course was exactly what I was looking for – an update of my skills, having been absent from the publishing industry for a long time. Thank you for your courtesy and expertise throughout the course.” Anne, County Cork, Republic of Ireland
“I enrolled on the course to improve my current skills and achieve a professional standard to help with work activities, and as the first step to freelancing in this area. My objective was very well achieved.” Emma, Aylesbury, UK
“The course was excellent. I wanted to gain a well-respected qualification in basic proofreading skills and I now feel confident that I could gain paid employment as a proofreader.” Delphine, Harrogate, UK
