Frequently asked questions
Will there be another Live course?
This will be a one-time opportunity, we won’t be organizing another one. If you want in, don’t miss your chance : )
I can’t attend all the sessions. Will I miss out?
No worries — every session is recorded and uploaded to our learning platform, usually within 2 hours. You can catch up anytime that works for you.
Do I need any prior knowledge to start the LS course?
This course is designed for those who already have basic experience with translation and CAT tools. It won’t cover beginner concepts but will help you take your skills further.
Will I be charged taxes?
If you're located in the EU, VAT may be added to your purchase. Starting January 2025, live courses in the EU are subject to VAT, even though they're educational in nature. The tax rate is based on your billing address and will be shown separately at checkout.
However, if you have a valid tax ID (or your company’s tax ID), you can enter it during checkout, and the tax will be 0%. Make sure to provide the correct information to ensure tax exemption applies.
What will be the course format?
Join a select group of students in daily, live interactive Zoom sessions with the instructor. We also offer a community platform on Discord for further engagement and discussion outside of class.
Will you issue a certificate for completing the course?
Yes! But you'll need to submit the final assignment selected by the instructor to prove you learned something.
