Interested in EAC Certification? Are you a highly skilled editor who has demonstrated a high level of knowledge and skill in the profession? This November, EAC will offer a test in Structural and Stylistic Editing for the first time, as well as tests in Elementary Knowledge of the Publishing Process and Copy Editing. A Proofreading test will be offered next in 2009. Registration opens on July 23.
To assess your readiness and see what the tests involve, check out EAC Certification: Study Guide and Exemplars. The fourth and final volume, Structural and Stylistic Editing, is now available for sale. Each volume of the Study Guide provides you with a comprehensive introduction to one of the certification tests, including a practice test, an answer key and sample performances with markers’ comments. Working through the relevant volumes of the Study Guide is a hands-on way to engage with the standards and identify gaps in your current knowledge and skills.
