Acclaim for LION Translation Academy



"The workshops were packed with useful information. Based on the information and changes I've made, I've won direct clients! In addition, the syntax course helped me in my copyediting business. I highly recommend that you take as many courses from LION Translation Academy as you can. I know I will!"

"I took two courses and definitely recommend them to translators, whether seasoned or new to the business. The perfect balance between theory and practical, hands-on exercises!"

Danielle Abraham-Bordage

Translator


"Online workshops and other courses often fail to live up to expectations, but Ann Marie is a standout presenter who truly knows her stuff. Her slides, excellent both in terms of design and content, were replete with real-life examples. I came away with concision hacks to use immediately in my work and a handy list of concision pitfalls to avoid. Don't think twice if you can attend one of Ann Marie's upcoming workshops."

"Je suis vraiment contente d’avoir accès à des formations de qualité axées sur la réalité québécoise. Jo et Ann Marie sont très à l’écoute et généreux de leur temps. Chaque fois qu'on me demande conseil, je recommande vivement l’école de traduction LION. C’est vraiment un + dans ma boîte à outils de traductrice!"

"I attended 'Breaking into the academic translation market' this fall and the information provided in that webinar was extremely valuable. Not only is Joachim an outstanding speaker, but thanks to his numerous contacts in the academic community, he provided us with a wealth of information from an internal perspective. He also offered us a lot of tips and advice for entering and succeeding in this market. I highly recommend LION Translation Academy!"
