Every word that is written by anyone who has an idea, a story or a transaction in this fast-paced world is scrutinized. It could be an application letter for work, or it could be that you are the CEO of a multinational conglomerate, which will scrutinize both your documents and attempt to find any ambiguity or flaws. If the application fails to meet scrutiny, the merger can be withdrawn before it begins.

Proofreading is used to correct potential errors in raw products. Writers and Proofreaders are responsible for ensuring that the materials of their peers are coherently written. They are an integral part of any business. Paramount Training and Development offers an proof reader and writer course to address this need.

The writer's mark and proofreader are now more accessible than ever. You see them on your way to work, in your morning papers, in cute articles you find on websites that you love to visit, as well as in the script that you watched on TV, and in the words that they blasted in your face right after the soap opera ended. It's likely that your writing is crisp and clear.

The proofreader and author are essential in a world where everything is on the edge. Paramount Training and Development understands this and will help potential learners learn how to do well in this role. They are also prepared to lend their expertise to help ensure that they have the skills to succeed in this field.

Proofreading and Writing Training Outline

Teach learners the fundamentals of language

As this course is aimed at instructing learners in proofreading and writing, learners will be taught to learn the relevant, key fundamentals of the English language that will be constantly encountered in their field or profession. Syntactic structure, word meaning and placement placement, lexical knowledge, all of these need to be taken into account when correcting even basic texts, let alone more complicated material. The proofreader and writer both need a firm grip in these core fundamentals to succeed.

Be aware of the different types of language they may encounter

Regardless of where they end up, the many fields that a proofreader and writer can end up in can be quite different from one another. Terms and jargon used by people in the business world will be vastly different from the terms and jargon used by the medical world, the world of advertising, or even the world of the law firm. Not to mention the differences between businesses themselves; as words and terms with a specific meaning in a business centered on food and catering can be completely different from the words and terms used in a business centered on the production of textiles. The proofreader and writer under our guidance will be well are of these subtle differences long before they finish our program, so no matter where they are in their roles they already possess some understanding of what their particular employer means in the text they will process.

Promote speed and efficiency in the profession

Proofreaders and writers are almost always under constant strain from limited deadlines and lengthy materials that need to be edited, watered down, or otherwise perfected and be fit for usage or consumption for their employer or other consumers. To this end, learners will be taught techniques and systems that promote high fidelity to their original texts and maximum efficiency in their work, allowing them to fulfill the immense demands of their employers without sacrificing quality of work.

Encourage Maverick thinking

Proofreaders and writers, depending on the strictness of their employer, have a chance to improve or enhance their employer’s original work and make it more insightful, impactful, or at the very least more interesting to read. Our training course offers materials and systems that help promote creativity within our learners with the intended goal of expanding their vocabulary, be more creative with their work, and generally expand their capacity to improve and enhance their future employers’ material beyond simply correcting their grammatical mistakes and rewriting their ambiguous statements.

Summary of ProofReading and Writing

The job of the proofreader and writer is very much behind the scenes. They take the raw material of their superiors or employers and go through it with a fine-toothed comb, analyse their mistakes and see the errors that make their statements loose meaning or impact, and then to the best of their ability adjust, rewrite, and file down the errors and mistakes until they have something polished and of higher quality worthy of greater scrutiny by a greater audience, while still retaining the intended meaning and message that their employer or superior wished to convey.
