Qualifications & quality standards

Behind every order stands a carefully selected team of editors. Only about 5 % of all applicants pass our multi-stage aptitude tests, because we rely on the highest language skills and subject knowledge. Most editors hold an academic degree, from a bachelor's to a doctorate, and two team members hold a certified vocational qualification. Each brings at least 7 years of professional experience in proofreading, editing or academic writing.

Our editors cover a broad range of subjects, from German and English studies through the natural sciences and engineering to law, business administration and the humanities. This way we make sure your text is revised by someone who really understands your technical language.

The quality of our work is monitored continuously: every editor goes through regular internal quality checks, and customer feedback is evaluated systematically and fed into the further development of the team. Where needed, we use a double check in which a second editor reviews the result.

Privacy & security

Your documents are safe with us. All uploaded files are used only to process your order and are deleted completely no later than 7 days after the work is finished. We do not pass any content on to third parties and do not use it for other purposes. Transmission is SSL-encrypted, and processing is GDPR-compliant on European servers.

Our support can be reached by email at kontakt@korrektur.de and through the contact form. For urgent matters, such as an approaching deadline, we usually reply within a few hours.

Frequently asked questions about our team

Answers to the most important questions about our editors, the selection process and how we work together.

How are the editors selected?

Our selection process has several stages and is deliberately strict: only about 5 % of all applicants pass our aptitude tests. Each candidate first sits a written test of grammar, spelling, style and reading comprehension. A trial proofread under real conditions follows. Only when both stages are passed is an editor accepted into our team.

What qualifications do the editors have?

Most of our editors hold an academic degree: bachelor's, master's, Diplom, Staatsexamen (state examination) or doctorate. Many studied German, English, literary studies or related subjects. Two team members come through a certified vocational qualification: a certified translator (IHK, German Chamber of Commerce and Industry) and a state-recognised foreign-language correspondent. Every team member brings at least seven years of professional experience in proofreading, editing or academic writing. This makes sure your text is handled by real language professionals.

Which subject areas does the team cover?

Our team covers a broad range of subjects: economics, social sciences, STEM subjects, engineering, the humanities, medicine, law, language and literature studies, communication and media, education, and art and design. This means we can assign an editor for almost any field who understands the technical language and the academic conventions of your degree programme.

Can I choose a particular editor?

We automatically assign each order to the most suitable editor, based on subject, type of text and availability. This way you always receive a professionally sound revision. If you have had particularly good experiences with a specific editor, you can tell us through the contact form with your next order, and we will try to take your wish into account.

How is the quality of the work ensured?

Quality assurance rests on several pillars: every editor goes through regular internal quality checks in which edited texts are reviewed on a sample basis. Customer feedback is evaluated systematically and flows directly into the further development of the team. For particularly long or sensitive work we use a double check in which a second editor reviews the result. In addition, our satisfaction guarantee provides free follow-up work if you have comments.

Do the editors use AI tools?

No. All proofreading and editing is done exclusively by people, without the help of ChatGPT, Grammarly or other AI-based writing tools. We are convinced that only human editors can correctly judge and improve the subtleties of academic language, subject-specific wording and an author's individual style. Your text stays authentic and is not distorted by machine suggestions.

Who carries out the plagiarism and AI checks?

Our checks run fully automatically with professional detection software:

Behind corrected.eu stands a dedicated team. We are editors, proofreaders and language professionals. Many of us have an academic background. Others come from publishing houses or agencies. We all have one thing in common: a love of language, and the wish to make good texts even better.

Our work is more than a job. It is a calling. Every day we read texts by students, authors and companies. Every text is different. Every text gets our full attention, because behind every text is a person who has made an effort. That effort deserves respect.

The team is made up of many minds, and each has their strengths. Some specialise in bachelor's theses. Others prefer to edit novels. Others again know their way around legal texts. This way we find the right professional for every order, which saves time and leads to a better result.

Quality matters to us. We always check our work twice. That takes a little longer, but you get a better result. We do not want to hand in quick corrections. We want to give real help. Our customers notice, and many come back to us again and again.

Further training is part of it too. Language changes. New words appear. Old rules are adjusted. Our team stays up to date: we read specialist books, attend seminars and exchange ideas regularly. That way we stay current for you.

We take data protection very seriously. Your files are handled securely. After the order they are deleted. Nobody outside our team reads your text. It is a question of trust, and we want to earn that trust anew every day.

Looking for help with a text? Then you are in the right place. Whether bachelor's thesis, novel or job application, your text is in good hands with us. Get to know us. You will see that we are reliable partners for every order. We look forward to hearing from you.
