“Hands on” Beginners Course – An introduction to Trados

One day presentation and practice session of the Trados Suite. Practical tips on how to start using Trados in an effective and enjoyable way.

The course is best suited for translators who do not have Trados yet but are considering buying it, and for translators who have bought the product but have not worked with it yet. Each participant will have the opportunity to work on a separate PC  and follow the exercises demonstrated by the trainer. If you have your own copy of Trados, you are welcome to bring your laptop along (please let me know so that I can ensure enough power sockets are available).

During the lunch break cold buffet lunch will also be provided. Please advise if you have any special dietary requirements I should be aware of when placing an order.
