Highly recommend!
I had a wonderful experience with the Becoming a Proofreader course. The content was comprehensive, well-structured, and easily digestible. I greatly appreciated the tutors who were readily available to answer questions and provide feedback. They were all incredibly encouraging and lovely to interact with. This course was worth every penny.

Comprehensive, Challenging, and Worth Every Penny!
This is the second Knowadays course I’ve taken, and it didn’t disappoint. Like Becoming a Proofreader, Becoming an Editor is well put together and packed with useful info. It covers everything you need to get started in editing, and the practice exercises are great: challenging enough to make you think, and directly tied to what you just learned. Overall, a solid course and definitely worth the price. I’d happily recommend it to anyone looking to break into editing.

I am very grateful for this experience.
Hi. I wrote a review after completing the Becoming a Proofreader course; this is my update. I recently passed the Becoming an Editor course, gratefully with distinction. Tutor Rebecca was encouraging and answered my questions carefully. I'm now onboarding with Proofed for my trial period. Since I had had some proofreading and editing experience before I started the course "bundle," I assumed it mostly would be a refresher. But I learned a LOT, and I'm sure I'll continue learning as long as I work in this field. Knowadays and Proofed are well organized, and the tutors, staff, and resource materials are excellent. I'm not sure where I'll be working a year from now, but I know I'll be using the knowledge I've gained from these companies. I'm grateful for the experience and consider the course bundle a very good investment.

Exceptional!
The course was incredibly thorough, and I routinely use the syllabus when I proofread. The tutors are exceptional, both via e-mail and video and are a wealth of knowledge. If they don't have an answer to my question, they research until they find one.

A More Marketable Proofreader
I learned so much from the Becoming a Proofreader course. Though I have worked in the field for years, the course supplemented my prior knowledge--and revealed many things I did not know! I am a better proofreader and am more marketable with my CPD certification from Knowadays.

Deep and Career Altering Training
The Knowadays Proofreader course has the depth necessary to make this change in a person's career direction. Each module has an appropriate length so that even a working person or student with other coursework can take these modules at a pace that will fit any schedule. The quizzes are very helpful; being non-graded quizzes makes them more reinforcing than frustating as you progress through the course. Ample opportunity is given to try new skills through the exercises provided throughout the course. The tutor feedback after the Final Assignment was complete and helpful. I recommend this course of study without hesitation to anyone interested in proofreading as an area of work.

Rich and exhaustive course content and professional tutors
When I started the course, I thought I knew most of what I needed to know about proofreading, but I was pleasantly surprised to learn there was so much more to discover. The content was rich, exhaustive and well presented. The tutors were professional, knowledgeable and very accessible whenever I had questions or requests for additional clarification. If you want to expand your proofreading competence, this course won't disappoint. In my experience, it was money well spent.
