What others say about this course
This course is a must for any translator whose target language is English as punctuation plays such an important role in delivering a polished product to the client! The presentation of the content is clear and precise. It explains the difference in style between UK and US English as well as being honest about the ambiguities of punctuation. I would strongly recommend this course!

I discovered things in this course that I’d puzzled over throughout my translating career and, best of all, was able to put them into practice the moment the lesson was over. The course includes a nice mix of multiple-choice questions and proofreading exercises. Finally, the fact that it really is a twenty-eight-day course means that it flies by. I’d recommend this course to translators, proofreaders and copyeditors.
Suzanne Stephens, LinkedIn.
This course was excellent to highlight the areas where I was confident with punctuation and those where I literally had no idea of the rules and just went with my instinct. I thought it was very well-structured and found it easy to navigate between the different days. It was also very helpful to allow multiple attempts at the final quiz as this helped identify areas that still weren’t clear and provided an opportunity to go back and study them again.

Why do the Punctuation Pro course?
English-speaking education systems don’t teach advanced punctuation. Most professional translators and writers have never done specific training in this area. There are even professional copyeditors and proofreaders who’ve never learned how to punctuate.
Since many professionals don’t have training in punctuation, this course is a great way to show potential clients that you know what you’re doing when it comes to punctuation.
You’ll also feel much more confident when punctuating your own work and proofreading for others.
What does the Punctuation Pro course include?
Each day, you’ll get an email with a question about a different area of punctuation. You’ll be taken to our learning platform to watch a short video and do an exercise to cement your learning.
On day 29, you’ll do the full course quiz to get your certificate and stamps.
By the end of the course, you’ll feel confident to punctuate your English writing and to correct the work of others. You’ll be able to add the certificate to your CV and use the stamps in your email signature and on your website.
