“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).

| Marta Gromysz | | Bio: I am a freelance translator and I have been using SDL Trados extensively in my daily work. I find the software very easy, helpful and enjoyable to use. I have attended professional Trados training sessions during my work at the European Central Bank, thus my practical Trados skills have a sound base. But most importantly...I know how to make working with Trados easy. I will tell you what you need to know to get started, and to learn more. I hope that you will find my enthusiasm inspiring and I will do my best for you to leave the course with a feeling …”Who would have thought it is so easy”.
