The following UK-based organizations offer proofreading and ancillary courses that you may be interested in. The list does not claim to be exhaustive; nor does it offer any particular recommendations or assessments of quality. If you are looking to move into the world of proofreading I would advise you to carry out further research and make your own evaluations. See my article Proofreading: How to Choose the Right Training Course for guidance.
Proofreaders on Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook frequently comment on their preferred training courses. Many publishers also have preferred outlets for training; checking their freelance requirements with a simple phone call will help you in your decision. For readers in North America, the education and certification section of the Copyeditors’ Knowledge Base offers an extensive list of training resources, including college programmes, for editorial freelancers. ​You might also consider viewing the Resources section of my website this list of worldwide editorial associations (with links to their websites); each society's learning programmes are indicated in the notes provided.

I completed the Ron Hebbs course and obtained the certificate. This couse has an aded "bite"...the actual course is full of proofreading errors. Correcting them is part of the requirement for passing the course. Certainly kept me on my toes

I completed the Ron Hebbs proofreading course and thoroughly enjoyed it. By the end I felt confident with the symbols and jargon. Just saying I have done the course has opened doors and I've been trusted with a short story, web text and now a book all based on having completed Ron's course.
