Have any of you completed this program or something similar? I'm considering it.

Does this focus on the Chicago Manual of Style? I don't use the CMS. I use the AP Style Guide, so it would not work for me.

I am interested in editing certificate. Do you know of any editing certificates that are online?

Yes, it focuses on the Chicago Manual of Style and is more oriented toward book editing. I know AP style from being a newspaper reporter; I'm not sure if anyone else uses it besides newspapers. When I wrote my book, I had to revise it to change it from AP to CMS.

And, no, I don't know of any online courses. I live in Chicago, so it's no problem for me to attend the classes.

Editing Certificate, Univ of Chi
Univ of Wisconsin Indep. Learning has one course in ms. editing: Program Independent Learning - University of Wisconsin Extension
Course Name C350-A52 Fundamentals of Manuscript Editing. You have to search around a bit on the site to find it, but it's there.

Also, I think UCal San Diego has some online courses. USDA, strange as it may seem, offers editing, proofing, and indexing courses. Some may be online.
