Poynter ACES Introductory Certificate
Gain a solid understanding of standards, skills and best practices when you earn your Poynter ACES Introductory Certificate in Editing.
The Poynter ACES Certificates in Editing serve as the communication industry’s leading training program to help communicators amp up their editing skills, improve their work lives and advance their careers.
Communicators at any stage of their professional development can benefit from one or all of our three editing certificate programs: Introductory, Intermediate and Advanced. There are no prerequisites for any of the certificates — learners can choose any or all of the learning paths to level up their editing skills.
Each certificate level is made up of a series of six to seven courses and a final assessment. You can enroll in the courses individually; however, you’ll receive a certificate only if you enroll in the certificate program and successfully complete the course assessments offered through it.
