Ready to start your flexible new career?

The simple answer is no!

Our courses cater to everyone. Whether you are a beginner, have skills you want to polish, or are looking to build on existing professional experience, our courses are your path from complete beginner to confident, trained professional.

Knowadays courses are accessed online and feature written content in digestible chunks. The lessons are interspersed with quizzes and exercises, and some include short tutorial videos. You are free to work at your own pace and return to completed lessons as often as you like. The quizzes and exercises are not assessed, and the results are not stored, meaning you can try them as many times as you like to reinforce your learning.

To complete any of our courses, you’ll need a laptop or desktop computer with an internet connection. For our proofreading and editing courses, you will also need access to a full version of Microsoft Word (2016, 2019, 2021, or 365). Although you can view the courses on smartphones, tablets, and Chromebooks, they use a limited version of Microsoft Word that doesn’t include all the necessary tools. Plus, a larger screen size is preferable for study.

Other than that, all you need is the ability to set aside some study time, a little self-discipline, and the desire to learn new skills!

If English isn’t your first language, you can still take our courses, but please note that passing the final assignment in our writing, proofreading, and editing courses calls for a high-level understanding of written English.

One of the great things about learning with Knowadays is that you get to set the pace. When you buy one of our courses, you get lifetime access. This means you can get started whenever you want, and you can take as little or as much time as you need.

We work in partnership with a leading proofreading and editing service called Proofed. If you pass our Becoming A Proofreader and Becoming An Editor courses with distinction scores of at least 80%, you’ll be offered the chance to work with Proofed.

And if you don’t score 80% right away, it’s not the end of your journey. You’ll have the option to purchase additional attempts and will get lots of support from our friendly tutor team to guide you every step of the way. Regardless of the result in your final assignment, our courses are designed to equip you with all the skills you need to launch as an independent freelancer, and our tutors will be happy to help you get started if this is the path you choose.

Once you onboard with Proofed, you’ll be paid to proofread or edit up to 10 documents from real clients. A friendly Proofed team member will review your work and provide valuable feedback.

If you successfully finish the trial, you’ll be given access to more Proofed clients. With extra practice, experience, and feedback under your belt, you’ll be able to tackle greater volumes of work and more complex assignments. You can work solely with Proofed or find more clients and earn $53,319 on average as a full-time proofreader and editor.
