Wondering whether you’re working to professional editorial standards? Identify your strengths and gaps and learn to work to industry standards.

Written and led by an industry expert, the Fundamentals of Editing Standards course will help you build the underlying concepts needed for a strong foundation in editing.

The first step in a series of courses as part of the Professional Editing Standards Certificate, this course takes you through topics such as the publishing and editorial process, how the scope and scheduling of a project impact the editing, techniques and skills at the heart of all types of editing, and the legal and ethical considerations that editors need to know.

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.
