Overview

Many people write content for their work or business. Consequently, these documents often contain unnoticed errors. These mistakes damage credibility and create a poor impression. Moreover, inconsistent formatting confuses readers and weakens your message. This problem affects reports, websites, and marketing materials every day. Therefore, clear and correct text becomes essential for success.

Our Proofreading & Copyediting course directly solves this problem. The course first builds your core proofreading skills. Next, you learn to apply a professional style guide for consistency. Furthermore, you gain confidence in correcting spelling and grammar. You will practise on both paper and screen. As a result, you develop a sharp eye for detail that catches every error.

The training then advances to copy-editing. You will examine how to improve language and flow. Additionally, you check facts and ensure accuracy for reliability. The course also covers essential legal checks. Finally, you learn how to find work and build your career. This complete path turns your careful attention into a valued skill.

You will finish the course ready to refine any text. Your work will communicate with clarity and authority. Ultimately, you can ensure every document meets the highest standard. This ability protects and enhances any organisation's reputation.

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.
