A lot to learn but worth it in the end.
I would highly recommend the Becoming a Proofreader course. I completed another course last year but didn’t feel confident in my knowledge at the end of it, even though I passed. Knowadays is different. The course goes into great detail, and you learn about different kinds of proofreading. I must admit I did struggle at times, feeling like I would never take it all in. But after going through the course a few times it did start to sink in, and my confidence built up. You also learn (even, or maybe especially, from your mistakes) when you complete the tests as you go through the course. Being able to contact the very friendly tutors if you’ve any queries is also helpful.

The Communication Success course is excellent!
World-class coaching for preparation and delivery of a five-minute (or longer) talk. All fundamentals are covered. Streamlined but thorough. Useful for any type of communication, not just the short talk format, as the principles and tools apply universally. Very helpful with a music teaching intro video I'm working on. I think it will also help with lesson videos, live teaching, interviews, and client interactions.

You won't be disappointed!
I was very pleased with the course I took from Knowadays. It was extremely thorough and full of highly useful information. I've taken courses in the past (from other companies) that left me feeling unprepared and low on confidence. The Becoming a Proofreader course left me feeling confident and equipped. The cost is very reasonable, and the course is definitely worth the money. This is a solid company that not only provides valuable courses, but also genuinely cares about the success of its students.

Good start for proofreading beginners
The BAP series was really helpful to refresh my grammar education and teach me how to edit to Proofed.com's way of working. With experience, and possibly with the addition of the Becoming and Editor series, one can gain all they need to be a well-rounded editor. This program will get you what you need to be a Proofreader...but there's no match for experience.

Comprehensive Course
The course taught me everything I needed to know to become a professional proofreader. It dramatically improved my knowledge of Microsoft Word, and refreshed my grammar skills. Everything about the course seemed designed to help learners to succeed; I particularly enjoyed Simon’s videos and my friendly conversations with two of the tutors. Recommended.

Thorough and very useful course
The course was really thorough and taught me a lot. I would have given it five stars, but the minus one is for the promise of work if you score over 80% on the test. It’s not a lie - you do get signed up with their sister company and you do get work, but the lack of available work is a problem. It gets frustrating checking the system over and over to see if tasks have come in. There just isn’t enough work available for the ‘guaranteed job’ promise to be a valid reason for signing up for this course.

Hi Claire,
Thanks for your message! We’re glad to hear you found the course so thorough!
We’re sorry to hear you’re struggling to find suitable work at Proofed. It can be a little slow at first while you’re finding your feet and until you can complete enough documents to increase your word count limit and access a wider range of work. Hopefully, you’ll be able to take on more jobs soon.
If it helps, the editor support team at Proofed is there to provide assistance to new freelancers, and you can reach out to them if you’re having trouble. They may be able to help get the ball rolling a bit faster for you!
All the best,
