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.

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.
