A distance learning course studentI would like to work freelance from home and I felt this course would give me the skills I need.

The course was easy to follow, and well put together. It was sufficiently challenging, but enjoyable as well.

The tutors showed that they had a great depth of knowledge on the subject, and used their comments to help me improve at each stage. Really good feedback, given in a very friendly and encouraging way. They also responded very quickly.

The content delivered what you needed. It never laboured a point, but there was always enough to get the knowledge you needed across. It is written in a very clear, concise way, often with a bit of humour.

I learnt a lot about the use of grammar and punctuation, some I’d forgotten, some I’d never used properly. The use of language was also very interesting. MS Track Changes was new to me. The course showed me how to go about proofreading and editing, correcting and editing copy/proofs, as well as applying techniques to be able to do it well.
