NIMA’S 6-MONTH ONLINE COPY EDITING COURSE LEARN AT THE COMFORT OF YOUR HOME, AT YOUR OWN PACE.
OFFERED BY GAUHATI UNIVERSITY, IN COLLABORATION WITH NIMA LEARNING.
The course helps you to not only learn the basic skills of copy editing but also to have a comprehensive understanding of the entire publishing processes. In today’s digital world, the need for editing texts has grown exponentially. While AI is making remarkable progress in creating and editing texts, the realisation has also dawned on us that it cannot be a long-standing, acceptable solution. It will always be necessary for professional and competent humans to intervene. The Course attempts to introduce the basics of copy editing in ten well-designed chapters, written in easy-to-access language and logical format.
