My final indexing course assignment before accreditation was an index to Sleep by Nick Littlehales, receiving favourable comments from my course adviser:

“This is a well-constructed user-friendly index which shows good understanding and application of the principles and practices of indexing taught in the training course…This is a highly commendable index of a professional standard, showing you have the competence to index commercially and create a product which will be valued by clients.”
