Hi! We’d expect that a C2 Level would be sufficient to complete the course successfully, but we’d recommend giving our free trial a go first. This will help you get a feel for the content of the course, how it is written/presented, and whether there are any areas you’d like to learn more about before taking the full course. Hope that helps!

I´m really interested in taking the course. English is not my main languaje, is a C2 level sufficient to complete it?

Hi Mary! That’s completely up to you! You can use a personal email address, or set up a professional email address. Many freelancers prefer to set up a professional email address to add a greater sense of legitimacy to their business, and to help keep their personal and work correspondence separate.

I am interested in proofreading books on Google Play Books. I read so many books on there and it seems as though no one proofreads them. I read a ton of the young adult stories and love them but the errors drive me nuts.
Do you have any idea how I can see about becoming a proofreader for them?
I am an adult, but I like the stories written for the young adults. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

I’m newly retired and contrary to popular wisdom, I miss working. New challenge is needed…desperately!
Flicking through UTube I notice the ads for proof reading as a career. Not something I’d really thought about but why not? I’d earned a BA and Masters degrees at reputable Canadian universities. One degree in English literature, a grasp of literary style….not to mention spelling and basic grammar. I’d even marked term papers for Engineer’s English (an oxymoron if ever there was one!). Maybe I could turn these somewhat obscure abilities into income producing work. So here I am….ready to sign up with Knowadays and stpart a new challenge!
