Testimonial
The Copy Editing Certificate Program helped me a lot in my current position. I recommend it to others because there are great tips and best practices that all editors and non-editors should know about. The classes are great refresher courses for someone like me who edits and proofreads marketing and communications materials on a regular basis.
