  • Grammar and Proofreading Quick Wins

“When our internal and external communications were assessed, it became apparent that there was a lack of consistency across the group in proofreading techniques,” says Vivienne Patterson, Marketing Project Assistant at Circle.

“It was decided that our marketing team should be trained in a robust process for proofreading that would suit everyone.”

The training solution: Grammar and Proofreading course with plenty of opportunities to put the theory into practice

“Writing Machine Academy’s Grammar and Proofreading Quick Wins course was great,” says Vivienne. “It was perfect for all levels of experience, from apprentices to senior staff, and the delegates went away with excellent new techniques for proofreading any kind of document. The trainer was fantastic too. She was very knowledgeable, and answered all the delegates’ questions with clear explanations. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this Writing Machine Academy course.”

Client feedback

Delegates were asked to give a score out of five on a list of feedback questions such as ‘Quality of the training content’, ‘Quality of the trainer’ and ‘I have learned new techniques that will enhance my proofreading skills’. The average score was 4.3 out of 5.
