“I really enjoyed these training sessions and, though I have been using Wordfast for 3 years, they provided tips that will definitely improve my user experience and the quality of my work.”

“Thank you for this training. I was using Wordfast Pro for my job, but I actually didn't understand how to use it well. I think this training will make my work more accurate and professional. Thank you so much!”

“I have been working with Wordfast Classic for ages and with Wordfast Pro since it came around, on a daily basis. In spite of that, namely regarding the latter, your explanations and examples have been extremely helpful, since there are always things we do not know or do not have the time to explore further. Thank you for this great opportunity and hope you may prepare some other workshop in the near future.” – Brigith Guimarães, attendee of the Jan/Feb 2023 training
