It added to my resume
“This is the second course I have completed with Knowadays (I also did the Becoming A Proofreader course), and I enjoyed both. I work as an aviation technical author, so I do a significant amount of formatting in Word. It’s great to continue learning and add to my CV.”
The amount of topics and depth of information in this course took me to totally a new level in MS Word
“The topics of this course are cleverly selected, and I was impressed by the power of macros and how they can increase productivity and save time and effort significantly.
It covers all needed skills brilliantly. The level of knowledge in this course empowers proofreaders and editors to perform any formatting task related to their job. I am really grateful for all the effort that has been put into this course.”
The course was very valuable!
Initially, having used MS Word for 20+ years, I thought it would be a course that would remind me of a few things and give me a certificate to back up my skills. But I learned a lot from it! I was very impressed!
I highly recommend it.
“Knowadays courses go into great detail and let you work at your own pace. There are also plenty of end-of-module quizzes and practice exercises to test your skills. The tutors are very helpful and respond quickly to any questions you may have. I would highly recommend Knowadays courses to anyone looking to start a career in proofreading or editing.”
