The General Proofreading: Theory and Practice course is great for anyone trying to learn how to be a proofreader. It goes through all the aspects of the job and prepares you for the real world. I was so happy with the course that I purchased the transcript proofreading course a month after finishing this one.

I took this course hoping that I would eventually be able to quit my day job and work from home, and I'm well on my way! I've always easily picked up on errors in written work, so I figured it would be a good fit for me. Well, I never realized how much more I had to learn! This course has given me a great basis for building my own proofreading business, and it also gave me the inspiration to move forward and add copyediting to my repertoire. The Facebook group was such an incredible asset to the course. I learned so much more by participating in the group! The only things that I would like to see added to the course would be how to proofread citations and references and possibly specifics to fiction as well. I highly recommend this course if you are ready to put in the necessary work and take responsibility for building your business!

I signed up for this course after being let go from my job of several years due to the pandemic. The course met my expectations with respect to being challenging, and it gave me the confidence I needed to start my own business where I offer proofreading, editing, and resume writing services. I've since looked into other ways I can upskill and grow my business, something I never thought I would do had it not been for this course.

I have nothing but good things to say about this course. As someone who graduated a year ago (and actually followed the advice of the course and other grads), I can confidently confirm they equip you with all the training, business info, and support you need to build a successful proofreading business. The whole point is to “teach you how to fish,” not catch the fish for you. So if you need a lot of hand-holding, you may not be a good fit. But if you’re serious and ready to roll up your sleeves and build your business, consider this your sign.

My overall experience with PA has been great. I started with transcript proofreading, but I took a break from it for a long time before coming back and doing the general course, then finishing the transcript course. Coming from an academic background, I was able to complete the general in five days. The transcript course was a different story, but I was still able to complete it within about a year and a half with taking a break for a year. The only thing I wish was different was more marketing tips and tricks. They have some marketing help, but it isn't very much at all. However, I have been able to obtain my own clients very easily. I have so much work, it's crazy.

Loved the structure of the course and how it taught me how to build a business at the same time. This is truly the beginner proofreading business course.

Proofread Anywhere is great: very informative, thorough, and legitimate. I really appreciated all of the specific and general practice exercises, as practice really was what taught me and helped me to improve over time, and I also appreciated the business tips and the immersion into Chicago Manual of Style. Two things I would wish that Proofread Anywhere would delve into in the future are style sheets and letters of transmittal. As of yet, I have not seen those featured in their curriculum, and so I took a separate class elsewhere to build upon my Proofread Anywhere education. For the most part, though, I think that Proofread Anywhere is a great option for one to learn and get certified in proofreading. It is easy to follow but feels very professional, and you can take it at whatever pace works best for you personally. Overall, it seems like the perfect option for a wide variety of people who are interested in proofreading since it is online and especially for those who would love to go into a self-starting, at-home job.

I had positive experience with this course. Lessons were easy to follow and complete. Customer Service was great. All my questions were answered within reasonable time frame. Great value for the money, provides valuable skills, helps with confidence.
