Hello, everybody!

Hello, everybody!

I've been working as a freelancer translator for almost a year now. Still, as I am just in my first steps, my rates are not very high. I have no course in the area at all - and, to be able to write a good (and true) resume, I believe I need a course in Translation or related (I thought about terminology management, which is something I really like).

My language pair is: English -> PT-BR

The problem is: all the courses I was able to Google were very expensive for me. One was 700 British Pounds.

I don't mind the quality of the course at all. The question is all about having some background, if you know what I mean

Can someone please indicate me a cheap, with certificate and online course as such?

Thank you very much! ▲ Collapse
