Testimonial #4: Elena Lomeli "The exam was thorough and intelligent. The amount of time allocated was perfect. Plus, you are better than ATA 100%, since ATA doesn't prepare you for the exam, doesn't recommend books, just charges you $300 and gives you absolutely no opportunity to appeal. Thank you for the challenge and the chance." Testimonial #5: Lissette Frederick "I think the program is very thorough. All the suggested reading was a great compilation of important information. In this program, you can learn a lot of great essential information in a short period of time. This is the right program for someone who is looking to improve their career of translation."
Testimonial #6: Jason Higgins (Professional Translator from Canada) "The CTP Program is just what I was looking for. I have struggled to gain my first 5 years of initial experience within the industry and I see this as a good first step towards speeding up my career in this industry."
Testimonial #7: Elsa Snevely (Professional translator from Mexico) "The overall program is very good. I think that the books that you assigned have a good balance between the practical and the theoretical aspects of the translation world. My favorite was Sofer's book. It was very specific, easy to read, well structured and it had concepts that were easy to apply in the real world. The exam was also very good in terms of the content. I think it covered the most important aspects of the books and it was challenging even for someone like me who already attended 3 years of translation and interpretation school back in Mexico."
