"Excellent investment in your future. I recently completed the CertTrans course and would like to praise its quality and structure. The course offered a comprehensive and well-organised curriculum to prepare you for the CIOL CertTrans exam and professional translation. The content is up-to-date, with vivid examples and practical exercises. The course would benefit from the possibility to discuss the feedback with the examiners after each test, not just once [LT Reply - we have now added this option, thank you]. Overall, the feedback was constructive and helped me grow as a translator. It is an excellent investment for your future as a translator. Highly recommended with gratitude." Rated 5 out of 5

"Great preparation course for the CertTrans exam. The Certificate in Translation Course has been perfect to prepare me for the CertTrans exam. For someone with no formal training in translation, I found it very informative and a good first introduction to translation techniques. It's a good combination of the theoretical and practical aspects of the translation process with many useful resources and exercises provided. The main highlight for me was the translation practices, reviewed by a professional, and also the mentor session. This was essential for me to understand what mistakes I was making, how I could improve my translation skills, and it also helped me feel more confident about the work I was producing. I have completed the CertTrans exam only recently, but I would say this course is also a good learning tool even for those who may not take the exam." Rated 5 out of 5.
