Student Feedback on
Getting Started as a Freelance Translator

This course is an excellent starting point to anyone who is interested in becoming a freelance translator. I am glad that I took this course! Corinne shares her experiences and all of her instructions, feedback and "insider" tips were very informative.
-Gabriele Bauer

Corinne’s course has provided me with invaluable information. As I started getting serious about my project of becoming a freelance translator, I became quite overwhelmed and anxious at the number of things to consider and feared I would omit to prepare for some vital aspect of the business. Corinne’s course has provided me with an exhaustive list of the most important things to take care of as well as an insider’s view of the trade. It is now with calm and assertiveness that I methodically go through my to-do list, knowing that when I am done, I will be in good shape.

I think that this course offers tremendous value for the cost. However, this is the smallest part of its worth. Corinne takes you from where you are and helps you move a step forward with thoughtful, detailed, and thorough advice for every question. To my knowledge there is not another course like this, and it fills a terrible void and need, but does so in a friendly yet rigorous way. I cannot say enough good about Corinne's approach.

"I can sincerely and objectively say that I had the good fortune of participating in Corinne's course. It is a concise and a well structured course that went straight to the key knowledge related to freelance translation profession. A "must" for any beginning or well established translation business entrepreneur. Thanks Corinne for sharing your rich experience as a translation professional with us."

"It was a pleasure taking this course. The amount of content presented, not only reflected the expertise of the instructor, as a freelance translator herself; but also that a lot of effort and thought was put into the writing and teaching of the coursework. Not only did it inspire motivation, but also it was very insightful in directing the steps from creation to implementation of a freelance translation business. Every step from self-evaluation to strategic planning and on how to handle the operational procedures of a freelance translator business is discussed. I found the course very rewarding and contributory in helping me establish my own freelance translation business."

"I honestly don't think I would have been comfortable entering the translation industry had it not been for this course! I feel that I learned everything that I needed to know in order to be successful as a freelance translator. I never could have made the transition into freelance translating without this course! Thanks Corinne!"
-Lauren Myers- Denver, CO

"Corinne, your course gave me the knowledge and confidence I needed to become a freelance translator. It included aspects of operating a translation business that I wouldn't have thought to consider. Thank you very much."
-Paul Kammermeier-Boulder, CO

"Excellent course, Corinne, and so valuable to someone starting out in the translation business. In a field where one is basically working alone, getting advice and insights from someone who has long experience in the field is invaluable. The course gives excellent building blocks for the start-up translation business, and it's also a good way to get to know people in the business. The feedback on assignments was superb."
-Lena Rising, attorney and Swedish translator

"I took Corinne McKay 's six week course, "Getting Started as a Freelance Translator" and I would recommend it highly to anyone thinking of starting any kind of home-based translation business. The entire six weeks went by very fast, it was very enjoyable, met new friends and regret it came to a conclusion so soon. Corinne is a very good and knowledgeable teacher."
