[About Isis Editing School]
On June 1, 2000, “Isis Editing School”, headed by Seigo Matsuoka, opened on the Internet as the only place to learn editing engineering. Instead of studying content that is automatically delivered, students enter an online “classroom” and proceed with answers according to the “themes” given by the “main teacher” to acquire unlimited editing skills.
Roughly half the men and women in our classrooms range in age from teens to 80s, and live and work across the country and around the world. A total of 30,000 people have taken the course so far, and 850 instructors have been trained (cumulative total). In October 2022, the basic course [Mamoru] reached its 50th term.
