How do Enrolment Bundles work?
With many of our qualifications you have the option to buy a ‘Bundle’. This is where we create a package of different activities which usually includes the online course, as well as other support options such as Translation Practices, Mock Exams and LanguagePartnerᵀᴹ Mentor Sessions. Bundles are discounted, so buying them in this format saves money in comparison to buying the course and support options separately.
How do you study with a ‘Bundle’?
Please choose a Bundle below, to see the access / study method our students find most helpful :
-
You will find the following on your dashboard, as separate items. Students find it most helpful to complete them in the following order :
Study the FDTI COURSE
This is the main content and will take the longest time. Make note of any questions you have, as you go along.
TRANSLATION PRACTICE (TP)
When you reach the Translation Techniques Module, you will see that the exercise includes a Translation Practice. You can ignore this here, until you have finished the course.

SIGHT TRANSLATION PAPERS
Review 2 x Sight Translation Papers (Unit 02 and Unit 03).
There are 2 Sight Translation past papers provided in the bundle. These are for your reference, for you to review. These will not be reviewed / marked.
TRANSLATIONS PRACTICES
Carry out 2 x Translation Practices (TPs) (Unit 04 and Unit 05).
There are 2 Translation Practices in the Bundle - in addition to the ones already in your course. These give you the opportunity to practice your translation skills (usually from a past exam paper), see how you get on, and see your results and feedback, so you know what areas to focus on. We will choose and assign your Language Partner when you submit your first TP, and they become familiar with your work as you go along. Your work should improve as you complete each TP.
LANGUAGEPARTNERᵀᴹ MENTOR SESSION
LanguagePartnerᵀᴹ Mentor sessions are online face to face video meetings with an experienced professional linguist who shares your language pair. They are your chance to discuss any translation queries resulting from your TPs, any Interpreting queries you may have, and any other questions you have. Our students find these invaluable.
It’s best to do your session/s after you have completed the course learning and any Translation or Interpreting Practice, so that you can discuss how you got on.
MOCK EXAMs
Included in your Bundle are 4 x Mock Exams (Units 02, 03, 04 and 05).
It’s best to sit your Mock Exams last (and preferably schedule them within the 1 or 2 months before your actual exams, if you intend on taking the CIOLQ DPSI exam).
When you take your Mock Exams, you will then be using all of the learning, practice and feedback you have gained through the previous stages
