The Knowadays course on Becoming a Proofreader Review

The Knowadays course on Becoming a Proofreader was so thorough and rich with information and resources. I have learned so much from this course, and I will continue to utilize their resources going forward as well. My tutor was so helpful in explaining verb tenses to me. It was enlightening. If you really want to test your proofreading knowledge or want to step into a new career, this is your course. It not only provides you with useful information, but it prepares you to be a professional in the field.

If I could give more than five stars to…

If I could give more than five stars to Knowadays, I would. The course is brilliant. So informative, with easy to follow modules, quizzes and blogs.
If you have any problems you can just email the tutors and they will get back to you with very detailed answers. If you are still struggling, they will stay in contact until you are happy.
If you pass the assignment, you are offered the chance to work with their parent company, Proofed.
If you do not get the required grade, you can arrange a meeting via the internet with one of the wonderful tutors where they will go over everything with you in detail.
All in all, I would recommend this course to any budding proofreaders.

Very well structured and thorough courses.

The courses are very well structured. Easy to follow, yet challenging enough so I felt I was truly learning. The courses offer lots of content, and I loved that they include hyperlinks to extra content so I can devolve deeper into a specific concept. I highly recommend Knowadays courses.

Great experience

For a virtual self-paced learning experience, I felt surprisingly well-supported by the program. There is always an opportunity to reach out to someone if the content doesn't make sense or if you have a specific question to run by an expert. The content is laid out clearly, and the module quizzes helped to keep me on track.

A must for any proofreader

A must for anyone who wants to become a professional proofreader. What is great is that you can do the course at your own pace and redo certain modules whenever needed. There is a lot of information provided and the support team are always very quick to respond and very friendly to deal with.

An excellent course : valuable and stimulating.

An excellent course. Course content was structured very well, with easy-to-follow chapters, well-placed video exposition on key features and regularly-placed quizzes to test ongoing understanding. Also excellent guides and printouts for reference, including invaluable checklists. The preparation and lead-in to the final assignment was well-crafted and subsequent feedback (particularly the 1-to-1 online session with the professional who had marked my assignment) really maximised the opportunities to do well and to identify areas for improvement. All in all, a thoroughly enjoyable and valuable experience.

A stellar course!

The Knowadays course “Becoming a Proofreader” was well worth my investment in time and money. What distinguishes this course from other proofreading courses I’ve taken in the past is the broad-based foundation it provides. Knowadays offers training across three types of writing—academic, creative, and business. I also appreciated the instruction in spelling conventions of the various dialects of English—UK, US, and Australian. So I am now comfortable offering my editing services to a global audience. The support from the Knowadays team was stellar.

I read many positive reviews for this proofreading course before choosing it over several others. I couldn't be happier with my decision! The material is well-organized and comprehensive with helpful examples and links to additional resources. The support team is readily available and eager to guide you. I honestly cannot believe how much I learned from this course and what a wonderful experience it has been from start to finish.
