100% online via worksheets, handouts, video, and text. You can learn proofreading from the living room, the back porch, or the beach—it’s all up to you.
Is there a live component to the course?
Yes! The course includes access to a private Facebook group where you can chat with and seek help from your fellow proofreading classmates, get feedback and help from the course instructors, and even ask questions of founder Caitlin Pyle.
