What some of our students say about us...
Working as a freelance translator has been my dream for years, but I always thought you had to have a translation degree to do so. I also thought it was difficult to get started. Through Inger Lise's training, I learned the opposite.

After 30 years as an IT consultant in the oil and gas industry, I was ready to do something else. I'm now using my professional knowledge in a new way and have created my own job.

TTA is what I've been looking for...
TTA is what I’ve been looking for for years without knowing there was anything like this out there, and it made all the difference in the world for me when I decided to switch careers and work with language, which is where my passion is. If you ever want a job in this industry, TTA will be the safest way to get there! I highly recommend this to everyone!
