Knowadays Avis 

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.

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.

This course was delightfully thorough! By the end of the course, I absolutely felt prepared for the final exam (which took me two tries to achieve my desired score). Highly recommend!

The Knowadays Becoming a Proofreader course goes into great detail and lets you work at your own pace. There are also plenty of end-of-module quizzes and practice exercises to test your skills. Now that I have completed the course I feel confident in my abilities as a proofreader and can access the course notes at any time if I need to refer back to anything. The tutors are very helpful and respond quickly to any questions you may have. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to start a career in proofreading.

The training of Knowadays Becoming a Proofreader course is very thorough and helpful. I liked being able to go through it at my own pace, and the exercises provided helped bring the knowledge of the course into practical experience. Having the opportunity for a trial work period with Proofed afterward is another benefit of the course. I would recommend the Becoming a Proofreader course to anyone wanting to get started as a proofreader.

I thought the course was remarkably thorough, constructive, and filled with abundant examples and practice exams.

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. I am now beginning my work with their online company, Proofed, and am excited to test out the skills I've acquired!

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.

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.

Excellent online course, easy to follow. Prompt feedback when required. Great value for money.

First of all, the staff is excellent. They are available, friendly, and professional. Secondly, the course material is very good! The tests are challenging but fair. I feel I learned a great deal from the course in general.

Comprehensive proofreading course which I found very interesting and useful.

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.

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.

The proofreading course is self-paced and easy to understand. The team is helpful and willing to answer all your questions.

It was a great course. I felt ready to work as soon as I was done.

The course was very thorough, with plenty of end-of-module quizzes and practice tests, and the tutors were very friendly and supportive. I much enjoyed completing Becoming A Proofreader and have gained lots of in-depth knowledge and skills. I would definitely recommend Knowadays for those looking to start a career in proofreading or editing.

The course was self-paced, informative, and easy to navigate. The tutors were personable and helpful.

The class was very easy to follow, and very easy to go back and review. I enjoyed taking the class with Knowadays.

The course was very thorough and well-organized. The additional resources available are extensive. There was always a tutor available to answer questions. The testing was tough, but fair. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to get in on the ground level of a proofreading career.
