Proofreading and editing are skills that anyone with a passion for writing and reading can learn at any time of life. You don't have to have gained a degree in English (although it can certainly help) to learn to proofread and you can literally begin to learn the skill whenever you want. Perhaps you are in between jobs or just have a little bit of extra time a few nights a week, an online proofreading course can fit perfectly into those little time slots! Proofreading can actually get quite complicated the deeper into the subject matter you go, but in its most basic form it involves reading a piece of work, either your own or somebody else's and checking for errors in spelling, punctuation, grammar and also the general flow of the piece including sentence structure. If you end up proofreading professionally, all of these elements will be taken into account, but a proofreading course can also help you to go through your child's school essays to be sure that they hand in (without doing the work for them) the best piece of work possible. If you are reading this article, then there are sure to be at least a couple of things that a professional proof reader would pick up on, but it will be quickly proofread before posting to ensure errors are minimal. With an ever increasing over reliance on spell checking programs in recent years, many believe that the overall standard of writing has gone down. Although disappointing, this could actually work in favour of someone who possesses good proofreading and editing skills, with work almost certainly needing to be checked and double checked before publishing. What about the actual online proofreading courses? Well, they work in much the same way as many other online courses and the majority of them offer great flexibility and freedom when studying, which can often work out really well for mature students who may have to balance study with a full time job or a full time family. Choosing when and where you study (perhaps at the computer in the office or even relaxing on the bed with your laptop) makes learning far less pressurised than anything you may have done at school or university. Often, there are no actual deadlines to speak of, just complete each module as and when you can and send it via email for marking. There will always be work available for a good proof reader and studying an online proofreading course has never been easier, so if you are eager to begin learning again, an online study course may be the perfect solution. writer job
