A distance learning course studentI thought proofreading and editing would be useful skills to add to my CV and with future employment in mind.

The course has more than met my expectations. I started with apprehension, having had little experience of online courses and feeling very conscious of the need to maximise my investment.

As I finish, I feel I have definitely maximised my investment. For their part, CMP have clearly given much thought to the online environment, user access, course content, educational experience, etc.

Having had no prior knowledge of CMP, I would heartily recommend this course as a thorough grounding in the theory and practice of proofreading and copy editing.

Rachel’s tutorial support was excellent. I am very grateful. She responded to my queries in a timely way and sought swift resolution on my behalf. Her assignment marking was consistently within the promised timescale, and her comments and guidance were clear and concise. I think she might work 24/7!

The course content was excellent. I have appreciated its orderliness, clarity, robustness, and comprehensiveness. I have learned a lot and feel that I am taking away excellent resources which will serve as solid reference points in future.

I have learned about the technicalities of proofreading and copy editing, which have always been vaguely instinctive. My biggest challenge was in having to describe grammatical points. The discipline required was hard, but invaluable.
