The BWC320 Editing, Polishing, and Proofreading Business Writing course will give you the skills you need to be able to understand basic grammar rules, edit business writing, and proofread your own and others' writing. It is not so rigorous as the Proofreading Skills course, but teaches more grammar and proofreading skills than are included in the Business Writing Skills course.
Course Time
You will go through the course at your own pace, so you could complete it within a few weeks. However, you have up to four months to complete the course so you can fit the study time into your schedule. All lessons must be finished within the four-month period.
