A workshop that makes proofreading and grammar fun? Is that possible? You bet. This program is based on the latest research on how adults learn. It's fast moving, so you stay interested. It's engaging, so you grasp more. "Mistake-Free Grammar & Proofreading" takes you on an adventure. The goal? To catch the grammar mistakes that can hurt your credibility. You'll start by finding out how well you understand grammar now. (Don't worry: You're not "graded," and no one is singled out or embarrassed.) You'll learn:

* All about capitalization and punctuation
* Techniques for finding errors in numbers, prices, codes, dates, etc.
* Commonly misused words, and how to use them correctly
* The 6 key spelling rules (and their most troublesome exceptions)

Who should attend?

Managers, secretaries, technical writers, editors and proofreaders who:

* Have never received formal training in these core skills
* Have been out of school for a while and need to brush up

Memorable training with unforgettable results...

This seminar is designed according to the latest research on how adults learn. It's fast moving, so you stay interested. It's engaging, so you learn by doing. And it's fun, so you happily give it your all.

The result? The information comes alive for you. You easily see the practical applications. And it sticks with you in a way that pure "book learning" never can.
