For September to December 2006 period.

Training Services

The best time to learn is now. If you don't work at the Translation Bureau but you want to stay on top of language and usage changes, or if you're looking to update your language knowledge but you lack the necessary resources, the Bureau can help. Many of the training activities provided for Bureau employees are also open to language professionals outside the Bureau.

Designed by a team of experienced language professionals who make learning come alive, the Bureau's training activities cover points of language and translation, including

  • new meanings of words
  • recurrent problems
  • administrative style
  • work methods
  • revision

Most activities take the form of workshops that include
theoretical segments in which the trainer presents various points of language, using the latest authoritative reference works, combined with individual or group exercises that give participants the chance to apply what they have learned.

The Translation Bureau also provides training on the computer tools that play a major role in the translation profession today. Our wide range of technical courses, designed specifically for language professionals, cover topics from using an HTML editor to searching the Net.

For details about courses, dates and fees, consult our Directory of training and evaluation services. For more information or to register for a course or workshop, contact us. Also, be sure to check out the Useful tips page for advice on how to do business with the Translation Bureau.
