EAC Certification recognizes editors who have demonstrated a high level of knowledge and skill in their profession. The program consists of four tests: Proofreading, Copy Editing, and Structural and Stylistic Editing. (From 2006 to 2009, a different testing framework was used and the four tests offered were Elementary Knowledge of the Publishing Process, Proofreading, Copy Editing, and Structural and Stylistic Editing.)

Currently, EAC is adapting its certification program to reflect the revised Professional Editorial Standards (PES) that came into effect on January 1, 2010.

Two of the new study guides that will replace the old four-volume guide based on PES-1999 are now available. By July 2012, the old study guide will be replaced completely by guides based on PES-2009:

Four-volume study guide based on PES-1999

Until all four PES-2009 study guides are available in 2012, Volumes 1 and 4 of the original PES-1999 study guide may be purchased by those doing advance preparation for the Stylistic Editing and Structural Editing tests or by those wishing to improve their editing skills and knowledge.

Please note that although the two volumes from the PES-1999 study guide described below will allow you to do advance preparation for EAC Certification tests and will help you improve your editing skills and knowledge, they are based on professional editorial standards that are no longer in effect. (See “Does it matter whether I prepare using the original four-volume PES-1999 study guide or the new PES-2009 study guides?”)
