Proofreading & Editing Skills Assessment

Proofreading and editing skills assessments are used by publishers, media companies, and professional certification bodies to evaluate editorial competency. These assessments typically cover grammar and punctuation, style consistency, copy editing techniques, proofreading marks and symbols, and editorial ethics. No single universal body administers this credential; assessments are offered through organizations such as the Editorial Freelancers Association (EFA) and various publishing industry employers.
