Hello,

My candidacy for the training on translation from English to French with the online school CI3M was rejected.
They did not give me a clear reason why, except that my level is not sufficient. I emailed them and I am hoping they will be a little more precise in explaining this decision.

After college, I left my native France for the States where I have been living for the past 15 years. I recently left my big money job to go back to my first love: languages. ... See more
Hello,

After college, I left my native France for the States where I have been living for the past 15 years. I recently left my big money job to go back to my first love: languages. I have started to work on small but fun translation projects on Odesk.

At any rates, I am questioning my own choices, wondering if I should try something else. I really believed this school could help me but if they can't even take me in to teach me, then, what's left for me to do?

I was wondering if anybody on this forum had experience with this school?

Thanks for your help and time... ▲ Collapse

Hello,

There are some threads related to CI3M in the French forum. Have you checked them?

FWIW, I know of a colleague who is quite happy with her CI3M translation training.

Hello Elvina and thank you so much for responding to my post.

I have read all the posts on this forum related to CI3M but unfortunately, I did not find the answer as far as how difficult it is to be admitted as a student. However, they did answer my request and emailed me a list of my mistakes. They did not provide a correction but I do see my errors of syntax, which they believe could have been avoided with a better documentation and research. And that is the thing: my purpose to ...

Hello Elvina and thank you so much for responding to my post.

I have read all the posts on this forum related to CI3M but unfortunately, I did not find the answer as far as how difficult it is to be admitted as a student. However, they did answer my request and emailed me a list of my mistakes. They did not provide a correction but I do see my errors of syntax, which they believe could have been avoided with a better documentation and research. And that is the thing: my purpose to study with CI3M is to learn a methodology. I mean, it is a 12-month online learning program to help a translator with the actual techniques. I made technical mistakes.. Wouldn't I be a perfect candidate?

If CI3M is so strict, is there anything else out there that I could try?

Thanks for your time everybody! ▲ Collapse
