"I thought this course was excellent. It gave me lots of really useful tips and key things to look out for. Steve was a great tutor - his experience brought the course alive."

• To understand how to mark up proofs for printers and/or designers
• To see how to incorporate house style

Outline
Everyone can read - but reading for pleasure is nothing like proofreading. This course uses practical examples to highlight the difference and explains how mistakes occur and what can be done to help prevent them. Please note that this is an intensive course needing considerable concentration and, consequently, will be from 10.00am until 4.00pm.

Location: central London, exact venue to be advised.
