What does becoming a translator mean to you?

FACT: Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, the translation industry has seen an increase in revenue of 70% in 2020 alone.

The translation profession allows you to be flexible, work from home, or anywhere in the world. And if you are a mum, or dad, with a young family, being able to work from home while looking after your kids is priceless!

Unless you already have a translation qualification from a university, having the CertTrans will provide you with benchmark evidence of practical working-level translation skills and knowledge.

The CertTrans will showcase your early career translation skills and will allow you to progress to higher levels of professional translation.

Do you want to work as a translator for a translation company? Or build a career as a freelance translator, perhaps?

If your answer is YES, then the CertTrans is the right qualification for you, and Foundations of Translation will definitely help you get there!
