Two new online courses

I’m excited to announce two new online courses that I’ll be offering this spring/summer. I’m still running my flagship courses for beginning and experienced translators (Getting Started as a Freelance Translator and Beyond the Basics of Freelancing), but I’ve developed two new quick-start classes for people who want a shorter course with minimal homework, but with lots of one-on-one coaching. Here they are!

Breaking Into the Agency Market starts May 13 and runs for three weeks. I’ll send you three slide show lessons (finding agencies; marketing to agencies; working successfully with agencies), we’ll do three group conference calls and you’ll get an hour of one-on-one coaching with me, which you can do by phone or e-mail. Registration is $190, or $175 if you’re an ATA member.

Breaking Into the Direct Client Market starts July 1 and runs for three weeks. Same format as above (three slide shows, three group calls, an hour of one-on-one time) but for translators who want to work with direct clients. Same price too! $190, or $175 if you’re an ATA member.

I’m excited to launch these new formats and hope to see some of you there!

    I definitely recommend Corinne’s courses, I took Beyond the Basics of Freelancing and found it very beneficial.

    I am just finishing up Corinne’s “Getting started as a freelance translator” class and can highly recommend her as an instructor. She has a wealth of knowledge and is an amazing teacher. I cannot think of any better way to invest into your business than to sign up for her classes. The one-on-one time is invaluable!

      Thanks Hannah for that recommendation! The course is open until it fills up; usually my other courses fill up by a week before the start date, but we’ll see if this one fills sooner or later than that!

    The Agency Market course–is it asynchronous or whatever you call “no specific time to attend a given lesson?”
    Thanks,

      Thanks Dan! It’s the same as the course you took; do the lessons at your convenience, then conference calls with recording provided if you can’t attend live. Just let me know if you have any other questions!
