A Letter from the CEO
Welcome! We’re delighted you found your way to our corner of the internet.
For more than four years, it’s been our pleasure to serve over 7,000 learners across our courses, teaching them skills to pursue a new career or elevate a current one.
I’m writing this to personally introduce Knowadays and explain how we hope to serve you best.
The most important thing you should know about Knowadays is that we’re here to help you succeed. You may be here to simply sharpen a skill, or you may want to learn a brand new one and start a completely new career, hopefully one that lets you control your time and responsibilities more. While also doing something you love!
Whatever your goals, all of our content is aimed at giving you the tools you need to achieve your desired outcome. Moreover, we have a dedicated team of tutors who have all graduated from our courses and worked professionally as freelance proofreaders or editors.
The Knowadays Team’s 2023 Christmas get-together, next door to our office in London. From left to right: Laura (Tutor), Jude (Course Developer), Wiv (CEO), Becca (Lead Tutor), Sammie (Instructional Designer) and Myra (Tutor).
They are there to help you anytime. This includes if you are just considering a course and would like some advice. Or it may be when there’s a particularly challenging concept you need someone to walk you through. Or it could be when you’re feeling a little discouraged about the prospect of fully achieving your desired outcome and need some encouraging words.
They have been in your shoes and love finding ways they can help you. We take immense pride in the quality of our tutors and invite you to look at the hundreds of five-star reviews on Trustpilot in which our learners specifically reference how much a tutor helped them achieve their goals.
Beyond our content and our tutors, many of you have come to Knowadays because you’ve heard of our guaranteed work offer.
It’s true! We do have a guaranteed work offer. And no! It’s not a scam by any measure.
We are immensely proud of our partnership with Proofed and invest heavily to ensure we can offer this opportunity to every learner who comes to Knowadays and demonstrates high proficiency in proofreading and editing.
Why do we have a work guarantee? I’m so glad you asked.
If you aren’t aware by now, let us spoil the surprise – freelancing can be capital-H Hard. If you’ve never had to find paying clients, send invoices, or market yourself, it may be more difficult than you imagine. It is the number one reason people stop pursuing a freelance lifestyle.
So, to give our learners a massive leap forward, we started this partnership to provide them with immediate experience and the opportunity to start earning right away.
To remind you of how it works, our offer is for a 10-document paid trial with Proofed. This work trial has several benefits:
- You can gain immediate professional experience. This means you’ll get to proofread real-life documents, have set deadlines, and receive feedback on your work.
- You can start to build a list of document types you’ve worked on, adding this to your resume or online profile to showcase your abilities to new clients, whether you stay on with Proofed for part-time work or decide to explore full-time freelancing independently.
- You can boost your resume by listing a major proofreading service as a client. Having experience with Proofed shows other agencies and individual clients that you understand, and can meet, the requirements of professional work.
In this light, we hope you see the deep value of our offer. Over 2,000 Knowadays learners have achieved distinction scores and been offered work trials with Proofed, and many of them have remained on the Proofed platform taking work for years. There is certainly immense value in that prospect, but the trial itself is designed to bolster your experience and build your confidence as an addition to receiving your training and certificate from Knowadays.
I hope this has given you a little more insight into the Knowadays experience. Whatever your goals, we’d love for you to become a Knowadays learner and join the thousands of certified freelance proofreaders, editors, and writers who took that first step with us!
Thanks for stopping by!
Sincerely,
