Proofread Diploma For Free

If your skills are sound with the exception of one particular gap in your knowledge, e.g. how to use proofreading markup symbols, and you find a free course that teaches this, then it's going to be a great course for you, one that's worth doing despite the fact that it costs nothing but your time.

The top three proofreading courses online are the General Proofreading: Theory and Practice2122 course by Proofread Anywhere, Essential Proofreading: Editorial Skills One by The Publishing Training Centre, and a series of three courses by The Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading.

If you would like to be a professional proofreader, taking a reputable course is well worth the time and money. Not only will you learn necessary proofreading skills but you will also gain confidence, protect your reputation, learn how to set proofreading rates, and attract more clients.

To become a certified proofreader, you need to obtain a professional certification. Currently, the only way to get this certification is to pass a rigorous test offered by Editors Canada. They recommend you have at least five years of experience as a full-time proofreader before taking the exam.

Proofreading is a great job for someone who will take the time to learn proper grammar and produce high-quality content. It doesn't matter if you're a proofreading beginner as long as your results are good.

Proofreaders oftentimes hold a bachelor's degree in English or journalism. However, graduates in other disciplines also can succeed as proofreaders by demonstrating their understanding of written language. Employers frequently require candidates to take a proofreading test to show competency.

Affordable: The General Proofreading Course costs $597 (including Ignite Plus) and the Transcript Proofreading Course costs $1,174 (including lifetime access to all modules), both of which are extremely reasonable for what you get.
