The following is More On-the-Job Continuing Education that I have completed since 2/1/2007:

Proofread Like a Pro
Proofreading is more than just rereading what has been written. Good proofreaders can identify mistakes and improve the quality of their writing even under tight deadlines. By using in-class exercises, this workshop teaches you proven tips and techniques to improve your documents. Participants learn to use several successful proofreading strategies; proofread for overall coherence and organization; and spot and correct the most common mechanical errors.
