This course has been developed based on Lingvajet research which helped to get invaluable information about the life of top consecutive interpreters, their achievements and fears, myths and realities. Do we need to train our memory? If yes, what trainings might be most helpful? How to minimise stress related to the situations when memory is letting us down? How to achieve the best balance between client satisfaction and interpreter’s wellbeing? 

The course is given by an experienced translation manager and is also based on Lingvajet research, which was specifically performed to collect strong evidence of best practises in this sphere starting from small businesses and finishing with corporate giants like Chevron, Shell or Siemens.

This course has been developed for corporate clients who would like to learn more about the best practices and processes of building a strong and efficient translation team. The course is given by a successful translation manager with years of experience in a corporate environment. The course was developed through Lingvajet's research and experience of dealing with various corporate clients. Living in a vibrant corporate environment and having our hands-full on a daily basis, we often forget about our most precious resources –  our people.

This course is designed for experienced AutoCad users and contains tips and tricks which you might find extremely useful for your work in AutoCad. The course is given by a very experienced translator who has also been trained as a professional AutoCad user and is very familiar with the software. Based on his experience, he has selected the most useful functionalities which technical translators need to know to master the software and use it in the most efficient way. 

Knowledge and understanding of AutoCAD software adds a valuable selling tool for technical translators. However, it is quite complicated and usual training sessions are aimed at engineers who will be using it for creating drawings and contain lots of information which is not needed for translators. This course is specifically adapted for technical translators and only contains information required to be able to translate drawings created by engineers.

The course is intended for those who would like to receive an overview of various CAT tools, participate in their comparison session and find out what are the advantages of using CAT tools and what translators need to take into account while using them to make the process most beneficial and to avoid common mistakes which might lead to most common errors in translation and do more harm than the good. We are sure both CAT tool beginners and experienced translators will benefit from attending the course. 

The importance of terminology is  often overlooked in the corporate environment, even if we always try to compile glossaries for particular projects or clients. Quite often  both LSPs and their clients with in-house translation teams can neglect this issue.

The course is aimed at streamlining and simplifying your terminology management. Given by one of most experienced terminologists and based on the knowledge gathered from a number of leading translators, the course will help you to organise your terminology management - often a cumbersome process, especially if you have several clients. You will have an opportunity to discuss the process with both the trainer and your fellow translators.
