CPD: the post Christmas detox begins
3 Jan 2013 | 2 Comments | posted by Megan Onions | in CPD, The Business of Translation
Now that the leftovers have been used up, the (possible) excesses of New Year’s Eve have worn off and the decorations have been taken down, it’s time to get back to work. As I still have a week or so before my MA course starts up again, I am starting the business side of 2013 by focusing on some CPD.
As I signed up to the newsletter of the brilliant eCPD Webinars, I receive all of the latest news, so I was delighted to see that Lucy, Sarah and Maia are running a 3 for 2 offer on their recorded sessions. I’m struggling to choose just three at the moment, as there are six categories to choose from:
• Business skills
• Interpreters
• Specialisations
• Technology
• Translation skills
• Translation workshops
The likely candidates at the moment are Specialising in Transcreation for Advertising Copy with Percy Balemans, Writing for the Web with Marian Dougan and Revision and Editing for Translators with Sarah Griffin-Mason, as they nicely cover most of my services. However, I also like the look of Financial Planning for Translators and Interpreters with Alison Lane and Make Face-to-Face Networking Work For Your Business with Sara Freitas, which I remember was particularly well received live.
The offer is running until 10th January, so make the most of it!
Megan’s proofreading has been very beneficial to me. I appreciate her accurate linguistic knowledge of English, and especially her stylistic recommendations.
