Overview

The role of the proof-reader carries a lot of responsibility, but usually very little support or credit. Many people assume that anyone can proofread. But there is much more involved in proofreading than correcting errors in written material – including concentration, a thorough knowledge of grammar and usage and the ability to read critically. The aim of this course is to help proof-readers ensure that every piece of writing is correct, consistent and ready for publication.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
