Proofamatics

Increase the accuracy of written communication through improved proofreading skills

The cost of errors made by office personnel can be staggering. Even small typographical errors in letters or proposals reflect poorly on your organization, and can discourage customers from working with your company.

Proofamatics is a training course that will increase the accuracy of written communication through improved proofreading skills. This course identifies to your staff the types of errors most commonly made in written communications, and provides a system for finding them.

Proofamatics delivers measurable improvement in finding errors. Proofamatics trainees average a 29% increase in their proofreading skills from pre-test to post-test. In addition, the organization will benefit from increased productivity and reduced costs. Any employee who generates or processes written communications will benefit.
