"Fantastic Course to Sharpen Proofing Skills"

I've been a technical writer since 1996, and this course helped me sharpen my skills and provide the "whys" to some frequently asked questions. The succinct descriptions made re-learning the proofreading trade simple. And the freelancing modules helped me open my own storefront and make extra income for my family.

"Great proofreading course"

Great proofreading course! Tons of information and more on proofreading and how to start up your own business!

"Great Course to get Certified"

Proofread Anywhere is an easy-to-follow course with all the information needed to become a certified proofreader. After finishing the course, they allow you to be a part of a FB group and job boards to help you land your first opportunities. Great teaching and thorough practice will prepare you for jobs. Well worth the investment.

"I highly recommend this course!"

I truly enjoyed the Proofread Anywhere course. I learned a lot. In addition to teaching the methods for proofreading, they give great guidelines for getting started in your business and they also provide lists of resources for you to use in your career. There's support in a FB group for students while you're taking the course and another one for graduates to help you marked along with a job board. I truly feel this course was worth my investments of money and time.

"At My Own Pace"

This course was thorough, informative, and encouraging. I appreciated the ability to go at my own pace.

"Great course"

The course goes through everything you need to succeed.

"Exactly what is needed to get started"

The General Proofreading (GP) course was more than what I expected after watching the free intro video. I learned (or relearned) a concept in every lesson, and if I felt I needed further information on a subject, plenty of resources were provided for further research on my own.

This process got me ready for the realities of working as a proofreader. At first, I thought learning grammar was all it took. I soon realized the need for adapting to each new project preferences, the ever-changing grammar and punctuation rules, and so much more.

The course is never unrealistic. It doesn't promise you a big payday, but it DOES promise results if you put in the hard work and dedication it takes to run your own business and hone a skill.

Whenever I emailed with questions or couldn't get a link to work, the Proofread Anywhere staff would get back to me in a timely manner with my question answered or with the issues fixed.

I have just recently graduated the GP course and am just starting to do paid work. Thank you so much for the motivation, resources, and knowledge to begin to thrive in a proofreading business.

"Thank you for information"

Thank you for information

"Serious proofreading course"

I totally enjoyed the course with Proofread Anywhere. It is a serious course, super informative, and educational. I learned so much more about English grammar, punctuation, and the rules and guidelines for effective proofreading.
The course also includes lots of practice that was invaluable. It also helps the freelancer to set up their own proofreading service, with recommended tools and advice.
I highly recommend this course for anyone that is serious about becoming a proofreader. This course is well worth the time, effort, and expense.

"Really good, but a little too US-centric for me"

Overall, I really enjoyed the course. The content was challenging, informative, and well presented. I found the practice essays surprisingly difficult, but I learned a lot.

I am based in Germany, so I wasn't sure if some of the modules were relevant to me (e.g. taxes and other business-related modules). Thus, I couldn't help but feel I was getting less value than someone based in the US who paid the same price as me.

Some of the video content is way too fast and difficult to follow. Using the transcript and slowing the video down is the workaround, but I don't understand why the videos need to be so fast in the first place.

I would recommend it to others, but I regret not doing more research to find a more EU-centric course.
