I wasn’t sure what to expect in this course, but I thoroughly enjoyed doing this course and I would recommend this course.

I have really enjoyed learning to proofread and edit with NZIBS. The tutorials have provided me with new skills and the assignments have been challenging enough to get me thinking, but not overwhelm me. I was also surprised at how much I enjoyed editing websites and will definitely focus on thi(…)

I thoroughly enjoyed the the proofreading and editing course. I now feel confident to start my own business with the knowledge I have gained over the past year. I appreciate the extension given due to some health issues I experienced. Everyone I came in contact with were friendly and profession(…)

It is said that we should never stop learning and I have found the Proofreading and Editing Course has both challenged and motivated me to learn again. Not only do I have a skill that I can turn into income, but I have learned to learn again and now feel that anything I choose to do is within m(…)

My experience of completing the Diploma in proofreading and book editing was challenging but very rewarding. It has given me the confidence to move forward and start my own business. The tutor Val Guide was very supporting and helped me so much with her positive feedback and advice.

This course has been a great investment, it is well structured and well managed. The whole administration from first registering interest, to payment, to receiving online details and paper tutorials was a very easy, user-friendly process. The tone of the tutorials is excellent: I got the sense (…)

I really enjoy this course it helped me to focus on something good and positive. Each tutorial were interesting and very applicable to my own life.

I procrastinated for quite a long time in registering for the proofreading and editing course, but finally, I did with fear and trembling. I thought this would overwhelm me and just maybe I might not manage what was expected. I can now honestly say I’ve managed to complete this course and total(…)

A great course that I learned a lot from and thoroughly enjoyed. I am confident that it will help me in my future endeavours.

This started as an interest rather than an expectation to run a business. However, the excellent tutorials and informative and objective responses to my assignments have grabbed my enthusiasm to ‘give it a go’.

The course was a challenge in some parts, and Dick sometimes must have felt like banging his head against a brick wall. I was making the same mistakes often, and it didn’t seem to click into place until towards the end of the course. I would, and have recommended this course to a friend from work.

I have not studied for many many years, but this experience was amazing. I found the course material excellently presented, the tutors helpful and the course itself is everything and more than I expected. It is certainly wonderful knowing I will now be able to contribute financially to our fami(…)

I have been enthusiastic in telling people who’ve asked, how interesting and stimulating I’ve found the PAE course. The course content and tutorial support have been excellent, and the administration has been flawless. I’m looking forward to getting started in this field!

This was a thorough and detailed course and extremely interesting. I have learned an incredible amount which I am sure will enable me to set up a home business. Thank you so much to all involved. I look forward to joining the Graduates Club and continuing access to the excellent Student Forum.

My number one goal I set myself at the start of this year was to become a life coach and to start my own business. Here I am 11 months later and I have just handed in my final assignment. It has been a year of ‘walking my talk’ and I have loved the opportunity to study for the last six months. (…)

Very good and enjoyable course. Thank you

The course outlined many aspects of publishing, useful to know when proofreading and editing. After each assignment I was always eager to tackle the next tutorial. Assignments covered a range of editing/proofreading tasks, providing a glimpse of opportunities for interesting editing work.

I really enjoyed the Proofreading and Editing course. I learned a lot and I think it will help me in the future with academic writing, even if I choose not to go into proofreading as a career. The tutor was very helpful and gave comprehensive feedback on all assignments and they make you feel v(…)

When I started on this course of study, I discovered that my idea of proofreading and editing was pretty basic and there was a lot to learn! The course content was great though and contained plenty of information and detail. If anyone is thinking about doing some study, even if you are in your (…)

I received excellent tuition from the editing and proofreading course at NZIBS. My skills in grammar, punctuation, and spelling have vastly improved. I am grateful for the help I received while I was studying and the course renewed my enthusiasm for English. The information about starting up yo(…)

You would think that getting a PhD would provide me with a sense of certainty about my own writing, but it did not, and my confidence took another blow when I lost my proofreader. I have always loved working with words and I decided to take the proofreading and editing course offered by the NZI(…)

I found training with the New Zealand Institute of Business Studies to be a positive experience. There is plenty of material in the tutorials, masses of references to draw on and encouragement from all levels of the personnel within the Institute. Thank you!

I am very pleased with the service and help I received from NZIBS while studying for the Proofreading and Editing Diploma. If I did not understand part of an assignment I looked on the student portal or emailed my tutor, Dick Ward, who was quick to respond and reassure me. I have completed my s(…)

I would thoroughly recommend the Proofreading and Book Editing (PAE) course to anyone who is interested in reading, writing and the use of language. I loved all the readings and assignments, every one of them challenged me – just learning the all new symbols and their use for proofreading was d(…)

Last year I felt it was time for some more formal study to enhance my credibility as a Life Coach and the Diploma in Life Coaching through NZIBS suited my needs perfectly. The design of the course enabled me to live in Vanuatu and complete my diploma remotely which was fantastic. With Internet(…)

Here I am with a diploma sitting proudly on my office wall. My office in its previous life was our garage, now we have a lovely wee office and a smaller garage. Fortunately, we have a very obliging neighbour and we keep our boat in his garage. I’ve just been given the job for proofreading a Coo(…)

Thank you NZIBS for helping me get where I wanted to be, which is to become a Life Coach to be able to help others who require support in their lives.

I have 3/4 completed the course and thoroughly enjoyed it. Look forward to graduating. Thank you New Zealand Institute of Business Studies for presenting me with this great opportunity.

I was so excited to get my course materials on Monday night! It was a stationery lovers dream. So far I am really enjoying learning something new, inspite of a cold that is making my head a bit foggy at the moment. The material is thorough and makes sense. I am glad I committed ????

I enrolled in the Proofreading and Editing course, still not sure if it was what I wanted to do (or if I’d even enjoy it) but determined to try something different. I took a little longer than the usual year to finish thanks to drama at work, but it turns out I liked it so much I came back for (…)

I have thoroughly enjoyed my year of learning with excellent guidance from my tutor Dick Ward. Each assignment provided greater insight into the art of the written word. How the English language has evolved from century to century and continent to continent. The need to allow for different styl(…)

This has been an amazing and really enjoyable course. I am into my retirement years but still working full time, although in a much less stressful job these last 12 months since I moved back to New Zealand after nine years in Australia working in the mining industry. My aim is to set up my own (…)

This is a great team and there are some fantastic courses. Anyone wishing to learn something new needs to check out their courses.
I thoroughly loved mine and when I was struggling to work through a previous course, young Brian Morris recognised my struggles and actually suggested I change it(…)

I found the course to be good; definitely picked up a lot of useful skills and really liked the online forum to chat with the other students/graduates about current assignments, work, etc.
I didn’t actively pursue freelance editing work after finishing it, but definitely was good I did this co(…)

When I started the Creative Writing course I had the idea for a book – a crime/thriller – but felt I definitely needed some guidance with regard to writing and everything that goes with it. My tutor Tina Shaw was amazing, her critique of my writing was always helpful and I came away from each t(…)

The staff at NZIBS gave me excellent support during my course. I have attained new skills for CV writing. I have a future in helping people with job applications. I highly recommend the Proofreading and Editing course as it can open up new possibilities.

Excellent institution…well worth the learning.

This is a wonderful course. I did it and it launched me into my own business. Highly recommended.

I completed this course and now writing for “Gameday” on the CRFU website. Picked up a lot of tips. Worth it if you’re serious about sports journalism.

Did this course, it is great. Now I have my own proofreading business.

It is possible to proofread without it, but NZIBS teaches you the right way. You will learn to proofread, and edit on paper, which I found invaluable. It teaches you to be thorough, and look at details you may otherwise miss.
