For those of you wondering how to become a proofreader (or how to find proofreading jobs), I’m happy to point you in the direction of Proofreading Academy (now called Knowadays), which offers the highly rated Becoming A Proofreader training course.

I’ve taken this course myself, so I know it provides high-quality, detailed training that will enable you to proofread all kinds of documents. You’ll learn at your own pace and on your own schedule. You’ll practice on plenty of documents, honing your eye for errors while tracking changes accurately—which is essential if you’re serious about becoming a professional. Be sure to check out the syllabus to get a better idea of how wonderfully comprehensive this course is.

Guaranteed Work

By the time you finish training, you’ll have a wealth of knowledge and resources to jump-start your freelance proofreading career. In addition—and this is a big one!—Knowadays offers guaranteed work to those who pass the final assignment with a score of 80% or higher. This means you won’t have to job hunt (unless you want to 🙂 ). No other proofreading course that I’m aware of (and I’ve checked out a lot!) offers this promise.

Flexibility

At a time when so many people are searching for work-from-home jobs, proofreading is an ideal opportunity. It allows you to work anywhere, anytime. And just think of all the new content that’s written every day—those words need proofreading. Opportunities abound. Based on your qualifications, experience, and desire, you may decide to focus on Catholic proofreading jobs or expand to general proofreading.

If you’ve trained well, you’ll enter this exciting job field with confidence and in-demand skills. And that’s a great combination for success!
