About this course

What the Advanced English Spelling course covers

This is an online personal development course you work through in your own time, on a phone, tablet or laptop. The material comes as 4 modules and takes about 3 hours end to end. The pace is entirely yours: sit it in an afternoon or spread it over a month.

Expect to cover Commonly Misspelt Words, Using Prefixes, Using Suffixes and Capitalisation and Spelling Games and Puzzles.

The provider grades it intermediate, so it moves through the fundamentals quickly rather than teaching them. We list 42 Personal Development courses, of which 2 sit at Intermediate. At this length it is one of the quicker ones in the subject. It carries CPD accreditation, which is what makes the hours usable on a CPD log, and the certificate downloads straight away.

The honest caveats: It is not an awareness course: if the subject is completely new to you, something introductory will be better value.
