Graduate Certificate of Editing and Electronic Publishing

Exceptional grammar, punctuation and clear word usage; the adoption of appropriate tone and style; the use of inclusive language; and comprehensive fact checking are foundational editorial principles that editors, copyeditors and proofreaders live by. The Graduate Certificate of Editing and Electronic Publishing is designed for practising editors who are looking to consolidate and expand their skill set into new areas of publishing, or for those with less editing experience who want to gain a qualification that will aid their employment prospects in the industry. It provides the academic tools to make informed decisions about preparing a text for publication; and using linguistic knowledge, including grammar, cohesion and regional variation.
