The diploma also enhances the role of the Arabic language in professional fields, increases its effective use within Saudi entities and institutions, and contributes to meeting the labor market’s demands, Al-Washmi said.
He said that the higher diploma was accredited by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development and based on high-quality training standards.
Al-Washmi added that this certificate qualified trainees for an additional degree if they held the 10th rank or below within the public employee salary scale.
The program also aims to maintain the integrity of the language and support it in both pronunciation and writing, in addition to facilitating its teaching and learning both within the Kingdom and abroad.
Graduates of the proofreading diploma program are expected to possess advanced linguistic knowledge and skills.
This program qualifies its graduates for job opportunities as “linguistic specialists” and “proofreaders,” according to the unified Saudi classification of professions in both the public and private sectors.
The proofreading diploma is set to last for a full academic year, totaling 435 training hours.
Speaking the Arabic language enhances cultural and national identity as it is an integral part of this identity.
