“This course is extremely to the point and hands-on and will be very helpful for localization PM newbies and experienced project managers looking to "switch sides" alike. I truly enjoyed the assignments and live feedback. This course is an invaluable resource with a great mission!”
“As a fresh graduate, my goal was to have some basic knowledge to start applying to junior PM positions. Thanks to this course, I've just landed my first PM role. Because of the things I've learned through the course I had an easier time to learn the work and "solve" the exercises they gave me as a test.”
“It is the perfect course for either people who have some experience in the localization industry and feel curious about learning the basics of project management or people who doesn’t know anything about localization and still feel like pursuing the role. 100% recommended!”
“I found the LPM course to be an excellent resource. The course provided clear guidance, practical exercises, and valuable insights from industry expert Andrej. Whether you're starting your localization journey or looking to enhance your skills, this self-paced course is a great investment.”
“This course brings value to everyone interested in taking their first steps into the localization world. I would recommend it especially to those interested in shifting their career because it will offer a real experience and will help you decide if this path is fit and right for you.”
“The Localization Project Manager Course is one of the best courses I’ve attended so far. Andrej makes sure you understand every single step by providing you with all the information you need as a beginner. Moreover, he makes you learn in an active way to prove you actually got how to deal with specific tasks.”
“As someone new to the industry, I found this course quite welcoming and insightful. The videos and assignments are short and to the point, but most of all, they are based on practical knowledge. Make sure to take notes, or pin them, as they can be part of your onboarding at a Localization company.”
“I learned a lot during the course, and the discussions with Andrej really helped me think better about real-life work situations. I’m just beginning to explore the world of project management, and your course was really important in helping me understand how the market works.”
“The course was quite demanding but well-organized, which made the learning process enjoyable and pretty smooth. It was the best introduction to PM I could imagine, I am happy to continue this journey and I hope I'll make use of all the things Andrej tried to teach me :D”
“If you are a hands-on person who believes learning by doing is the best way to learn, this is the perfect course for you. With practical assignments that ensure concepts are not just understood but applied, it is a great chance to grasp the project management side of localization!”
“I think the course is really good, clear, and shows what a PM might encounter in their daily work. However, I believe the most interesting and challenging part of the course is the certification assignments, which are not “just a certification,” but an essential part of the learning process.”
“You don't know how much I enjoyed this course. And now that I want to work in localization, it means a lot 😊 So happy that I found Localization Academy 😍”

Andrej Zito
Hey, I’m Andrej! I started my localization career when I was 19 and learned pretty much everything on the job. And I believe you can do the same — we learn best by rolling up our sleeves and doing the job. That’s why I started Localization Academy after 17 years in the industry.
I worked as a project/program manager for the biggest part of my career. I’m here to share my experience from both the client and vendor side, where I mostly led localization projects for Microsoft, Autodesk and Intel.
In my free time, I climb, dance, and play games. I’m not your typical stuffy-suit industry veteran — there will be lots of smiles and stories… and probably a little swearing!

Frequently asked questions
Do I need any prior knowledge to start the LPM course?
Nope, we’ll teach you everything about project management from scratch. But if you're completely new to translation/localization, we recommend starting with the free Introduction To Localization course.
How long does it take to complete this course?
This course takes approximately 20 hours to complete if you go through all the lessons and assignments. Since it's self-paced, you can spread it out based on your schedule. You’ll have access as long as your subscription is active, so you can take your time or complete it faster if you prefer!
Can I get a refund for the course?
You'll get a full refund if you cancel within 7 days of starting your subscription. After that, no refunds will be provided. See our refund policy for more details.
Please note that no refunds are given for the certification.
Do you issue a certificate for completing the course?
All our courses come with certification (see sample). But you'll need to earn them by submitting the final assignments. Watching the videos is not enough... you're in this to learn something, right? 😉
Please note that certification is not included in the monthly subscription and needs to be purchased separately for $100.
