The YECL course was, in respect to greatly refining and enhancing my academic and other editing skills and shaping me to work as an editor, a tremendous experience. The face-to-face workshops were professionally run by the wonderful Capstone Editing team in an effective and appealing manner so that the material presented was both informative and enjoyable to learn. The subsequent continuation of the online component of the course, using both printed and online materials, facilitated a further in-depth understanding of the important processes of copyediting, referencing and formatting. From this, I learned many aspects of the editing process that I had not previously known or had not been clear to me. The professionalism and encouragement integrated into the YECL course are truly admirable, and I would highly recommend the course to anyone seeking to enhance their editing skills or begin work as an editor!
Antonio Rullo
I would highly recommend the YECL course to anyone looking to build a career in editing. Nelson and Amanda are great mentors, and the course is jam-packed with valuable, practical information on all areas of editing. For me, as someone who had already started their career as a freelance editor, the course filled in some knowledge gaps and gave me renewed confidence in my ability. I was challenged and inspired, and I loved every minute!
Rebecca Courtney
My favourite part of YECL was that Capstone Editing provided an excitingly long list of writing and editing resources. Before enrolling in the course, I had completed a bachelor’s degree, but my study had not focused solely on editing or industry standards. I thought I had quite a firm grasp of English and its rules, but YECL taught me rules and practices that I did not know existed. I especially enjoyed the practicality of the course; I am a hands-on learner, and the exercises were extremely helpful. I also felt supported by Lisa and her team, who answered any questions I had. YECL also allowed me to showcase my editing skills, which resulted in Capstone hiring me as a trainee editor. I feel this course is an excellent opportunity for beginners and seasoned professionals alike because there will always be something new to learn.
