Launch your freelance career and unlock your potential!
There is more to being a successful freelance translator than just being an excellent linguist. This online course is aimed at translators who are setting out on their careers and will provide you with the additional skills and knowledge you will need to succeed in the competitive world of freelance translation. It is self-paced so you can learn at a speed that suits you.
The course comprises seven individual modules, each covering a topic that is central to success as a freelance translator:
- Module 1 - Understanding the translation profession
- Module 2 - Setting up your business
- Module 3 - Working within the profession
- Module 4 - Making yourself stand out
- Module 5 - Continuing Professional Development
- Module 6 - Business planning and pricing
- Module 7 - Marketing and networking
Each of the seven modules takes approximately 45 minutes to work through - 5¼ hours of content in total. There are also actions that we encourage you to take and links to supplementary reading and videos, so the total amount of time you spend depends very much on how much you want to get out of the course.
