The course is packed with great content. My only reason for not giving 5 stars is the Customer Service. When I email for a question, I’m told to visit the FB page. When I go there, the responses can be a little to Kurt for my liking. I never got my question answered.

Just OK

I'm getting through it pretty well, but the lack of any screenshots or pictures in the videos is a real drawback. It would be a much better class if you added those, especially if people could see examples of word and PDF edits. Seems like there's a bigger emphasis on starting a business, which is just as important as the proofreading itself, but the proofreading techniques seem rushed. Also, there have been a few occasions where the downloads do not match the description. This class could be so much better.

Supportive and detailed

Supportive and detailed. Lots of practice is a big help too. Couple of smaller things to change. The course could take out the part about how reasonable the gender ideology pronouns are. When selling the course it sounds like if you can't watch the video for an hour right now then don't bother. Could be more friendly with the initial message

Overall provided a lot of info

Overall, an abundance of information was provided. I would have liked more specifics in each of the categories. For example, I took the Grammar Course in Khan Academy and learned much more than I did in this course which I paid for. I feel like I'm floundering a bit... had to figure out for myself how to actually do the editing. I am floundering with the best course of action for a website; what to do regarding an email address; how exactly to set up to be paid. So a little more guidance/substance on the topics would be much appreciated. I wrote quizzes professionally for 9 years and could assist GREATLY with your Vocabulary Quiz and Module Quizzes. In my professional opinion, they are not well-written. If you would like assistance making your quizzes better, please let me know!

From Unsure to Confident

I was very hesitant about signing up for this course. My confidence was at an all-time low. After going through a reduction-in-force from my job, I decided it's now or never. What a great decision it was to say "yes" to me!
The course was user-friendly and felt like home for me. I learned a great deal, but I was surprised at how much I already knew. The Proofreading Pose were diligent about staying in constant communication with me which gave me a level of comfort that I was not just thrown into the deep end of the pool and told to swim. Since completing the course, I now feel confident to take the next step into my freelancer life.
Thank you Proofread Anywhere Family

This is not a course to be taken lightly! Even with a degree in English, I learned a great deal--and had to re-learn some concepts. I am so happy that I took this step and look forward to using it to work in this field and help other writers to craft a better project.

A well-rounded education with the Transcript Proofreading course

I started Transcript Proofreading approx. 3 weeks ago. This is course is great at providing the information we'll need. They go through it quickly, but they also give you a lot of information and examples! I've been through the General Proofreading course, and Transcript Proofreading is a bit different. There are times when I feel confident and times when I do not, so I am looking forward to going through the example transcripts.
