You'll learn how to:

 

  • use proofreading marks correctly
  • proofread accurately and consistently
  • spot mistakes in your own and other people's work
  • work with different types of material.

 

If proofreading catalogues, leaflets or ads is just part of a busy job, it's probably something you do in a hurry. But, if you make mistakes, everyone always notices. So take this opportunity to learn the skills you need to be an accurate proofreader.

Programme

  • Functions of a proofreader
  • Proof-correcting symbols
  • Proofreading or copy-editing?
  • Different types of proof: different issues to cover
  • Proofreading techniques
  • Proofreading problems and tips
