"An interesting and thought-provoking experience. The tutor expertly led us through some tricky exercises, hosted lively discussions and recounted some interesting anecdotes. Some good lessons learned quickly and effectively." "Good use of exercises. Particularly valuable for those, like me, new to this and needing advice on how to get started." "A good eye-opener into the pitfalls - many and varied - of sub-editing and proofreading." "Very useful, fun, informative - when's the next course?"
