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.
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.
Anna Z, 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.
Olga, 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.
Salvador, ILTD 2023
“I would rate this course 10 out of 10. I liked every part of the course.”
Maria (EN > IT), ILTD 2022
“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.”
Ellen (JP > EN), ILTD 2019
“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.”
Rachel (FR > EN), ILTD 2018
“I found the information provided to be useful, along with the explanations of job positions and aspects of English law, as it gives good background information for those with no formal legal training. The idea of creating a glossary is also a good one, as it allows the translator to keep their terminology in one place.”
Rita (BSL), BSL Legal 2024
“This training is excellent. I enjoyed the mix of learning materials, both audio and visual and plenty of variation in exercises to complete. The glossary is a great resource that can be used to reference and grow the legal terminology you use. I enjoyed the opportunity to practice Interpreting - it's a good way of practicing legal jargon into BSL, to make sure you convey the meaning and intent of the source language.”
Jennifer (ES > EN), CertTrans 2024
“This is just to let you know that I have just passed the CIOL Certificate in Translation. I feel confident that your preparation course helped considerably in this outcome!”
Cristina H (EN > IT), CertTrans 2024
“I passed! Thank you so much!”
Anne SG. (EN > DA), CertTrans 2023
“Consider doing a preparatory course if you want to practise and feel better prepared for your online translation exams. I did one with linguisttraining.com and especially the translation practices with feedback from a Danish mentor were excellent.”
Anne C (EN > FR), CertTrans 2024
“I just wanted to let you know that I have passed the above exam with a distinction in the general translation and a merit in the business and commercial translation. I'm delighted with the results and would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the course and the support you've provided. It was of great help. Many thanks.”
Suzanne (ES > EN), CertTrans 2024
“I have just had my results of the CertTrans exam that I did in March and I received a distinction! To say I am amazed and over the moon would be an understatement. I am doing the second part of the exam in July and all being well I will be back to linguisttraining.com in September to start the DipTrans course. Have a great weekend.”
