The expertise acquired through previous professional experience in the fields of language teaching, information technology and business management represented the basis for my future career as a professional freelance linguist and localization specialist in areas such as software and hardware products, localization of websites and video games, online and offline marketing and advertising, transcreation, review and editing.

How can I pay for only one session?
Feb 27, 2014
Hi, I don´t see a button to purchase just one session. I can only see the $69 link which leads you to the page where you can pay for the four sessions. But I would like to start with one and see how it goes first. Can you please help me with that? Thank you.

There's a registration column on the right of the course description. It says:
Course registration Last minute - 22 seats remain [Purchase for $20.00*]
So you can just press this button and follow the instructions, I guess.

Poor content
Mar 11, 2014
The webinar was finished after 45 minutes and not after 60 minutes. I asked a question at the end that Florin said he had already answered during the webinar, but considering that we still had plenty of time, he could have given me an answer anyway, also shortly.

Thank you for your interest in the training.
