Read MoreI enjoyed this short course. It was very helpful to have a brief introduction to the nature of the work - both proof reading and copy editing. I found the internet search really useful to give me an idea of the range of opportunities for work that are available. The course was very easy to complete and the little test at the end was very illuminating. I had thought my proof reading skills were sound but I missed 4 of the errors ! Lots to learn ! Thank you.
