I often see work advertised in newspapers for proof readers to work from home. Where can I find proof reading courses?
Many companies and academic organisations offer proof reading as part of more extensive courses. The NCTJ’s supplier – Pulford Editorial – offers a specific short-course in proof reading. Another short course, biased towards the book sector, is offerd by the Publishing Training Centre at Book House (tel:020 8874 2718). West Herts college says it is developing a proof reading course – watch this space. Training Pages comes up with eight proof reading courses, although some of these have no scheduled dates.
