Professional Editing Standards Certificate
The courses are entirely asynchronous, which permits you to work at your own pace within a set timeline. At the same time, you can feel the presence of the instructors and they will provide feedback specific to you. The real strength of this certificate is that it gives you access to dedicated, experienced professionals who are eager to share their knowledge. Highly recommended!
Wondering whether you're working to professional editorial standards? Or thinking of taking the Editors Canada's Professional Certification tests and want help preparing?
Identify your strengths and gaps, learn to work to industry standards, and gain foundational knowledge and practice for each of the editing disciplines.
The Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP) recognises Queen's University Canada's courses as quality training that will count towards CIEP membership upgrade.
