DipTrans Mock Exam
“The mock exam was very organised and a fantastic opportunity to help me have a taste of a real exam, in real conditions.”
Maria (EN > EL), DipTrans Mock Exam Student 2024
Aleksandra, Mock Exam Student
“I have been practising sight translations, taking time into consideration (which I hadn’t really considered before), and I’m finding it easier with practice, so the Mock Exam certainly helped me discover what my weaknesses were and work on them. Your advice has been very useful.”
FDTI French
“Lovely course that is easy to follow and understand. This is a lovely introduction course on what is expected of a translator and interpreter. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Nice small little sections that are easy to take in and the option to save and return when convenient is excellent.” Rated 5 out of 5.
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.”
Jimena, Linguist CV Masterclass 2022
"Helpful and to the point! It is a concise course with all the necessary information, including specific details, to build the CV. It invites you to think about who you are, and how to show that to the recruiters". 5 out of 5 stars.
Anne D, Linguist CV Masterclass 2022
"Simple, clear, to the point - just like your CV should be! I was curious when an invitation to take this free course landed in my inbox, so I started it straight away. It's good practice to review your CV on a regular basis anyway, so I had nothing to lose. Although most of the advice is tailored specifically to linguists, it can easily be applied to any CV. The information is simple, clear and to the point. The employer/agency needs to know ......, because of ....., so you need to put this information on your CV, in this format." 5 out of 5 stars.
Linguist CV Masterclass 2022
"Very useful. Some UK specific requirements are really useful for those who plan to work in the UK". 5 out of 5 stars.
Linguist CV Masterclass 2022
“Very useful course! The course was interesting and, as always, there was something new to learn. I liked that everything was very well explained with the examples. I will definitely apply all I learnt in my own CV and continue develop my professional skills further. Thank you very much for the interesting and informative course. :) And downloadable example of CV was a nice bonus! “5 out of 5 stars.
ILTD Legal Translation course
“I would rate this course 10 out of 10. I have learnt brand new words with the Legal Glossary, which are helpful to my legal translation profession.”
ILTD CPD COURSE
“I particularly enjoyed the insight into the kinds of topics that legal translators encounter, through the 'Common Legal Issues' session. Similarly, I also enjoyed the practical comments on translation practice, such as in 'The Essence of Legal Translation', 'Constraints of Bilingual Processing' and 'Revision/Proofreading'. These contained concepts that will be helpful for the translation work I already perform, even though I don't specialise in legal translation currently.”
