I came out of the course feeling pretty experienced due to the number of practice transcripts that were provided to us. We also needed to pass a midterm transcript test and a final transcript test as well, so that helped bolster confidence in my proofreading abilities! However, it's very much a "buy the course and do the best you can on your own" type of situation (and they are transparent about that!). There really isn't personal support from the people who work for Proofread Anywhere. While you can ask questions in a Facebook group (and there's a lot of support there!), there's no actual investment from Proofread Anywhere to ensure their students understand the material. That's up to you. Also, it's a common complaint from the people who take the course that the annotated transcripts (kind of like the "answer key" for the practice work you do) need to be updated, looked at, etc. It's a source of frustration from many who take the course, and Proofread Anywhere doesn't acknowledge that frustration from their students. Overall, if you do the work, pay attention, etc., you'll be pretty ready for the "real world" of proofreading, but it can be frustrating at times to go through the course due to the fact that there's no real "teacher" to ask your questions to.
