User	Thread poster: Osama Eissa Got Lost in certification.
Osama Eissa Egypt Local time: 04:48 Member (2008) English to Arabic + ...	Nov 24, 2010 Dear All, I have just browsed the website http://translationcertification.org, and by this I really got lost in the selection. Which certification I could get outside Egypt considering that Egypt currently doesnot have an accreditation program or by other words still on the start line. In addition; We have now in Egypt the affiliate program "British Standard EN 15038". Please advise if the above mentioned affiliate programs are enough at the moment to exist strongly online or There are other worthy? Looking forward to hearing from you!

If you would like to obtain professional certifications, you should consider what countries you would like to sell your services to. And then decide what is best in your case.   Subject: Comment: The contents of this post will automatically be included in the ticket generated.

A lot of discussions in the past about this "certification" Sep 25, 2011 There have been quite a lot of fora about this company offering the "certification". Please read the following very carefully before you make a decision you might regret in the long run: - http://www.proz.com/forum/translator_resources/151340-has_anyone_heard_of_ctpcertified_translation_professional_program_by_global_translation_institute.html - http://www.proz.com/forum/internet_for_translators/137117-has_anyone_heard_of_this_school_institute_global_translation_institute_ctp_program.html - http://eng.proz.com/forum/professional_development/203891-certification_is_becoming_essential.html Personally I would seek certification by an institution that is recognised by somebody, or better said, by everybody, like the Chartered Institute of Linguists of the American Translators Association. Check their websites for more information. Certification with them will be difficult and expensive depending on your case, but if you prepare well and pass the exams, you will be recognised as a good professional worldwide. A private company offering a "certification programme" is far from desirable, especially because nobody recognises a certificate you can get very easily with them.   Subject: Comment: The contents of this post will automatically be included in the ticket generated.
