About the programme
Course Overview
In institutional environments, official documents serve as the foundation for communication, documentation, and decision-making.
To ensure these documents are effective and impactful, they must be written in clear, error-free language that meets professional standards.
Linguistic editing and proofreading go beyond correcting spelling and grammar—they involve refining style, adjusting terminology, and ensuring consistency in tone and structure according to the document’s purpose and audience.
This workshop is designed to equip participants with the skills to edit and proofread official documents with precision and professionalism.
Over five days of interactive training, participants will learn how to identify common errors, use modern editing tools, and enhance the clarity and coherence of various types of institutional texts.
This workshop is not just about fixing mistakes—it’s about developing a linguistic and professional mindset that elevates the quality of written communication across the organization.
