Editing training

Effective editing helps get the writer’s message across with clarity, consistency and accuracy. Editing can range from improving the structure of text to the correcting of grammar, spelling and punctuation.

Our courses can help you:

• develop and use basic editing techniques
• edit text on screen
• improve language, style and clarity
• stay consistent and work with house styles

The skills learned here are not just for publishers - they can be applied to any business sector. Our courses can be tailored for people who edit at any level and who work on any kind of documents or publications.

We can also combine editing with elements of proofreading, writing skills or writing for the web.
