1-Day Editing and Proofreading Skills Course
Course Overview
This course is created, owned, and trained by its original creator, Ms. Florence Au. Learn from the original creator.
In this workshop, you will learn how to change your draft business document, including email, into one that is coherent, error-free and fit for distribution or submission to your boss.
You will start by editing the structure of your document. Then you will move on to proofread your writing style, refine your grammar and spelling and, finally, work on the format.
Writing is a skill, and like any skill, one has to practice. Learners are encouraged to advance the skills and knowledge acquired from this course with other related courses, such as Writing Better Emails and Editing and Proofreading Skills to write your way to success.
