FDTI Arabic
"Very useful. Thoroughly enjoyed doing the course. It gave me the opportunity to refresh my skill and identify my weakness. With each lesson I learned something new, I did the lessons in my own time, so pausing and resuming from where I've left was very handy, especially when you have your hands full. Thank you."

Idaya, Foundation Course 2020
“All the subjects covered were great, because they gave me a good insight into what I can achieve and the places I can work.”
FDTI German
“I thought that the course as a whole and the content of the individual lessons were very well structured. As a non-native speaker, I also especially appreciated the beautiful use of language and I noted down a lot of expressions and phrases for myself when I created the glossary.”
Yvonne, Foundation Course 2019
“I found the course a very informative and useful preparation for pursuing a career in translating. I particularly enjoyed engaging with the professional ethics and researching the code of conduct, building my own glossary, as well as the theoretical and practical information on translation techniques and sight translation with the corresponding exercises.”
FDTI Spanish > English
“I just wanted to write a friendly message saying that I started my course today and I am really enjoying it so far. Not only are the information and the links very interesting and useful, but I feel that doing the course is really helping me to focus my mind on my work as a translator (I have been translating for eight months but on a very ad-hoc basis so the structure of the course is really helping me a lot). Keep up the good work.”
Maria, Foundation Course 2017
“The lessons were well organised and well prepared with very useful tips and links. I found them very easy to follow.”
Foundation Course 2017
“Very useful specific information throughout the course. Section 4 and 8 were particularly useful, as were the related links. This information helped understanding what the profession might involve in specific cases.”
