Jan Nohovec
Hey, I’m Jan! I’ve worked in quality management for the past 7+ years on various levels in RWS (both former Moravia and SDL) as well as in Argos Multilingual. On top of that, I’m a translator and language enthusiast by making, but I also enjoy teaching a lot. That’s why I stayed in touch with my alma mater by teaching there occasionally and why Localization Academy invited me to collaborate on leading the quality management course.
Outside of work, I like to keep myself busy. I write book reviews on fantasy and science fiction literature, play board games and for many years I used to do fire dancing. I also take care of my ever-growing number of house plants and if I want to completely disconnect, I hit the nature to do some hiking.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need any prior knowledge to start the LQM course?
Nope, we’ll teach you everything about quality management from scratch. But if you're completely new to translation/localization, we recommend starting with the free Introduction To Localization course.
Do you issue a certificate for completing the course?
We don't hand out certificates just for finishing the course — you earn it through our certification process.
After you complete the main course, you can choose to purchase certification for $100. That includes submitting a final assignment, and if you pass, you’ll get an official certificate to show off your skills (example).
It’s our way of making sure the certificate actually means something — and that you’ve really learned something useful 😉
