In this post, I’ll be reviewing the online Knowadays proofreading course. I’ve just completed the course and here I’ll share my personal experience and thoughts about the course with you.
Proofreading is one of the best ways to earn money online. You can work from (almost) anywhere in the world, set your own hours, and be your own boss. However, before you get started, it’s a good idea to take a course to hone your skills and help you find quality proofreading jobs online.
Of course, before you part with any money, you’ll want to thoroughly research the course you’re thinking about buying. (That’s why you’re reading this post, right?) Rest assured, Knowadays’ proofreading course is one of the best in the industry, and I highly recommend it.
One quick thing to note: Knowadays used to be called Proofreading Academy. So if you see any references to Proofreading Academy reviews when doing your research, it’s effectively the same company.

- There’s a final assignment: at the end of the course, there is a final assignment, which is an assessed proofreading exercise. To pass, you need to score at least 56% on the final assignment.
- Tutor feedback is available: once your assignment is graded (it took eight days for my results to come back), you have the opportunity to go through your work with one of their tutors in a feedback session.
- Guaranteed proofreading work: if you pass the final assessment with 80% or higher (i.e. a distinction), Knowadays guarantees you work with their partner agency, Proofed.
- Course cost: the course costs $399. Right now, there’s a 15% discount when you bundle the…
