Translation Practice
When you choose to learn online, it's always helpful to have feedback on your progress.
This is not always possible with e-learning formats…
However, with our Translation Practices, we provide you with the opportunity to have your translations proofread and reviewed by an experienced LanguagePartnerᵀᴹ - and expert guidance is provided to you.
These are tailored to whichever course you are taking and we also offer General Translation Practices in Foundation, Intermediate and Advanced levels (below).
You may wish to buy these as part of your CPD (Continuing Professional Development).
How Translation Practice works
Choose your Translation Practice (BELOW) and enrol online.
You are provided with an actual past exam paper matching your course, to translate. Where these are not yet available, a highly suitable alternative is provided.
Submit your translation online.
One of our experienced LanguagePartnersᵀᴹ (an expert professional linguist), then proofreads your Translation Practice.
In addition, following the CIOLQ’s suggested assessment criteria, they will also answer questions about certain elements of your work, thereby providing you with invaluable feedback, leading to success in your exams or practical application of your newly learned skills.
