PROOFREADING

Who is this course for? 

This is an ideal study session for delegates who need to make their proof-reading more methodical and professional. It is also a great introduction for those who are expected to check other people’s English and prevent errors getting into company publications.
The one-day course can be delivered over half a day to be combined with half a day of the English for Writers module.

The Proofreading course:

• provides a reminder of the principles of Standard English, giving delegates a sound grasp of grammar, syntax and punctuation;
• comprises an essential guide to the tools and techniques of proof reading, including the standard proof-reading and copy-editing marks, and such topics as keeping check lists and cutting and making lines;
• emphasises the importance of absolute accuracy in specialist and technical writing, and of maintaining the highest professional standards, and;
• is reinforced by practical exercises throughout the day.
