Legal Proofreading Skills - 101 Training (Standard)
How to improve your legal proofreading skills
The Problem
Your team needs to be better, faster and more efficient with their proofreading.
Related challenges include:
- proofreading is a skill, it can be improved
- too many of your documents have too many errors
- typos and grammatical errors in your documents reflect badly on the professionalism of your business
- your team are not sure what they should be looking for when they proofread
- your team doesn't have enough capacity to proofread slowly
- sending your team for external training is too expensive
- finding really practical/useful training is a challenge
- DIY training is extremely time intensive
- hearing from subject matter experts is more authoritative
Wouldn't it be great if you could access a powerful “on demand” training session to help your team overcome these challenges?
