FDTI
"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." Rated 5 out of 5.

Museum & Gallery Translation Masterclass
"Solid, accessible foundation course. This masterclass provides a solid overview of museum and gallery translation, the kind of work it involves, its peculiarities and challenges, along with tips for further research and a long list of links to specialised glossaries. I was particularly impressed by the effort that was made to make the course materials accessible to a wide range of learners by providing them in both audio and visual form (the latter including downloadable PDFs for each module, which saves a lot of note-taking time!)." Rated 5 out of 5.

"The course was excellent for me, in the course materials, important and basic topics have been placed layer by layer, which causes the translator and interpreter to strengthen and grow."
Rohullah (EN > Farsi/Dari, Pushto), FDTI Student, 2024
Nonverbal Communication CPD Masterclass
“Clear focus and relevance for Interpreters. A highly informative and well-structured course, spotlighting essential observation and self-awareness skills. The particular relevance for Interpreters is the golden thread throughout. Really enjoyed it!”

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.”
Fuscia (EN > FR), FDTI Course 2023
“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.
Vasileios (EN > EL), FDTI Course 2023
“Excellent course. Very helpful.” 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.”
Ana, Foundation Course 2020
“The Interpreting Techniques were absolute gold for me!”
Diyer (EN > Kurdish), Foundation Course 2019
“Very informative course” 😊
Prisca (EN > DE), Foundation Course 2019
“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.”
Katrina (ES > EN), Foundation Course 2018
“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.”
Sonia (EN > IT), 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.
