Apply by 30 June for the Graduate Certificate in
Editing (Online) offered by the highly regarded publishing programme at
Whitireia.
Our online Graduate Certificate in Editing provides a
comprehensive introduction to professional editing and proofreading in print
and digital environments. It is a valuable overview for anyone whose work
includes a writing and editing component, and for beginning editors in public
sector or specialist publishing. This part-time online course is taught by
industry experts and provides assessment, feedback and workplace case studies.
It covers the principles and practices of editing in print and digital
environments and gives you the flexibility to study part-time while you work.
The programme includes professional communication and plain
English, along with how to evaluate content, shape text for different purposes,
and work with writers and stakeholders. It also provides a solid base of
editorial techniques, covering web editing, grammar and common errors of
written English, and topics such as fact-checking, legal concerns and
Māori-language considerations.
The Graduate Certificate in Editing is designed for people
interested in editing and proofreading roles in the wider publishing sector,
including government departments, specialist publishing and non-governmental
organisations.
This programme is also appropriate for people already
working in editing and proofreading roles but who have not had editing
training, or people who would like to formalise their knowledge of editing
conventions and industry standards.
Students undertaking this course are eligible for student
loans.
Courses start 24 July.
Those who wish to pursue a career in book editing, book
publishing or publishing in digital and print media should enrol in the
Graduate Diploma in Publishing by November 30.
