This is what our participants say about the online trainings

I wanted to thank you all for your wonderful training. It has been extremely instructive and helpful, not only at a professional level, but also at a personal level. I have to say that, even if this time the course was online, I have felt fully involved in the training. The coordination has been wonderful too.
Maria, Document Services Coordinator, International Labour Office

I really enjoyed the experience and indeed learned a lot about terminology management. Also, the material is very good. Maybe for the future it would be a good idea to create a corpus out of this.
Noula, Director, Technology Implementation, nlg GmbH
I already downloaded it!
I will certainly keep in touch:-)

I learned a lot in your course, and I could enlarge my professional network. In addition, the certification strengthens the position of the terminologist in the company. Now it is much more difficult for people to argue that terminology is just a sideline, and can be done with no sweat.
