Nancy Curry Chapter 13 Trustee, Los Angeles, California, wanted a higher-level proofreading skills course for professional staff. The Business Writing Center suggested an arrangement in which the agency could enroll staff in the Proofreading Skills course for a discounted tuition.

The Business Writing Center arranged for all of the selected employees to participate in the course.

The course contains

1. general principles of proofreading
2. methods professional proofreaders use and the proofreader's marks
3. a comprehensive review of English usage rules
4. online, interactive activities for participants to use in practicing the skills
5. six diagnostic examinations in which participants must proofread for unusual errors they may encounter as well as routine errors
