Proofread Anywhere Recensioni 

General Proofreading Theory & Practice was a great overview of what a proofreader does (and doesn't do), how to find resources for doing the work, and for finding work and creating a business. The module layout was organized well and split up into manageable amounts of learning time with helpful practice worksheets and essays to go along with the lessons.

Personally, I would have preferred a more visual presentation. The slides with someone reading a script was informative but sometimes felt too basic. For me, videos showing the workflow of a proofreader in process of proofreading an essay would have been helpful, especially when learning the various annotating tools and when learning to incorporate style guides and sheets.

Amazing experience! Covers everything you need to know.... absolutely vital information. And an amazing community.

The course was thorough and covered almost every topic I could think of. I wish there had been a section similar to the "myth-busting" emails that you have been sending recently. Some things, like "Possessive case modifies a gerund," are so completely burned into my subconscious that I cannot ignore them. You absolutely have to put in the time with the practice essays - they help a lot plus they cover everything you learn.
As far as the non-content part of the course, up until I finished and submitted my exam I found the customer service to be excellent. Whenever I emailed with a question it was answered immediately. When I submitted my final exam, it took a full four weeks to get the results. I enquired about it several times and never really got a response that made sense. That is honestly my only criticism of the course. I really enjoyed it and plan to take the Transcript Proofreading course next.

It was very informative and truly has taught me everything I need to know to be a successful proofreader. It was well worth the investment.

This course prepares one to be able to fully engage in the profession of proofreading. It has in-depth, step-by-step instructions on punctuation, correct usage of compound words, and many other aspects of correctly written language.

Well laid out and easy to navigate course.

I give this course five stars. It was challenging and well worth the money.

I was skeptical when I first heard of this course and was hesitant to spend the money. But I am passionate about writing and grammar so after a fairly thorough investigation I decided to purchase the course. Boy, am I glad I did! I found the course to be extremely well laid out and user friendly, and the online resources and social media groups to be invaluable. They were very upfront and honest that it is not a "get rich quick" scheme, and if you want to make money at this you do have to do a decent amount of work after completing (and passing) the course to get your first paid work. That would be my biggest advice...don't go into it thinking that once you pass the course you'll magically start making money. You will only get out of it what you put into it. I am happy that I followed my gut and purchased the course, and having passed the final exam I'm now working on the required steps to turn this into an income stream. Highly recommend.

The refresher courses were excellent and helped me increase my skills in proofreading. However, I am having trouble syncing my I-pad with i-Annotate. Could someone please give me help in accomplishing that?

The modules were so user-friendly! I especially liked the fact that there was a quiz at the end of each module. I'm a visual person, so hearing the audios and watching the videos at the same time really helped me absorb and retain the information!

Plus, the constant emails that I received giving me encouragement and commendation! Loved it!

This course was a great English refresher. I loved how easy this was and a great reminder of all than I had already known. I loved the worksheets and the lessons. I need to finish the quiz but I wanted time to study so I can get the highest score possible. I look forward to my first client.

This course is well worth the cost and the time it will take to complete it. I have learned so much and have been refreshed on what I had forgotten. I highly recommed this course

What a rip-off. I signed up for and PAID FOR this course in proofreading. I never got any course material, just endless solicitations to sign up for MORE COURSES. ?????
I WANT MY.MONEY BACK.
I emailed several times, asking for assistance and where to find the course material. NO RESPONSE.NADA.
GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK NOW.

Good company. I leaned a lot about proofreading and how important it is to have that final set of eyes go over every written work. I would take this class again.

Very useful instruction to prep you on proofreading. A great review for English grammar, structure, and punctuation. The practice essays were very helpful. I would love to see a quick reference of the CMOS that would help with referencing that huge book!

I found this course (general proofreading theory) very helpful. It's amazing what we forget over time. I loved that there were a lot of practice essays to put the lessons to work and that there is an exam at the end because then you really know if you're ready. Lots of great information that was laid out well.

The course itself is very good, with useful tools and valuable quizzes. However, you send too many redundant emails; they are annoying.

Great program; the only downside is they send WAY too many emails. It’s overwhelming and needs to be cut back.

My money was worth investing in this course. What I liked most was getting prompt responses whenever I needed. Also, the General Proofreading Facebook group is excellent source of information. As a new professional, I couldn’t think of a better place to have my questions answered. I want to highlight specially the contribution of Polly Cecce Costigan the expert contributor . Thanks!

I paid about 1000.00 to take a course that mostly went through the Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS) when I could have done so on my own. There was a great deal of work presented on setting up a business and related activities that was superficial, at best. There was no substantial support in the course and when I asked for clarification, a response was slow in coming and not very helpful. I also did not appreciate one response on what we were encouraged to use (the 17th edition of the CMOS) even though there is an 18th edition: it would be too much work to revise the present course (paraphrasing so as to not out one particular person). The course delivery was sub-par as the presenter in each module was either reading verbatim from the provided transcript or presented so quickly that I could sense their lack of interest. In addition, a person stressed that the regulations for the APA style is not much different that the CMOS; they are. The final assignment had a mastery of 90% which is extremely high. The explanation given was that university courses have similar requirements; they do not outside of some medical and law schools. In summary, the course would be useful for someone who is recently retired or a bored stay-at-home parent. It is unlikely that a person could make a living after this course was completed; pocket change, maybe.
