Thrilled to be able to do this online!
Jan 12, 2011
I've owned the software for over a year but I've never been able to start using it. I live far from a large city. Last winter there were three Saturday training sessions offered by a member of my regional translating and interpreting association. On two of the three Saturdays, there were huge snowstorms and I couldn't get there. Consequently, I'm still getting along with Translator's Workbench. I am absolutely delighted to be able to take this class online!

free webinar versus 3 hour online training
Jan 12, 2011
Hi Anne, glad that you will be able to participate. Do consider taking a full 3 hour online training course as well. ProZ.com offers 3 hour instructor led SDL Trados training including the manuals, sample files and certification exams. The full list of sessions and times can be found at http://www.proz.com/translator-training/topic/sdl-trados-certified
Hi Anne, glad that you will be able to participate. Do consider taking a full 3 hour online training course as well. ProZ.com offers 3 hour instructor led SDL Trados training including the manuals, sample files and certification exams. The full list of sessions and times can be found at http://www.proz.com/translator-training/topic/sdl-trados-certified
The free webinar is an introduction and will only be 1 hour. The free webinar will give you some good information and tools to use, but a full 3 hour instructor led online course will provide you with quite a bit more understanding. Additionally we have over 200 registered for the webinar, so you will likely only be able to listen/watch, while the 3 hour instructor led online courses have an average of 8-10 attendees permitting some interaction and questions and answers.
Right now ProZ.com is conducting a 48 hour sale on SDL Trados online training. You can purchase a credit to be used on any of the SDL Trados training courses for $89 - $10 off the normal price of $99.

Prior knowledge not neccessary, VoiP merely need speakers or a headset
Jan 24, 2011
Attendees need not have much in the way of prior knowledge of Studio 2009, but it would be helpful if attendees knew the basics of translation memory. Attendees will be in listen only, so in terms of VoiP, all that is needed is to be able to listen - speakers, or headset. Nothing should need to be installed. Gotowebinar may need to install some software, but you will be prompted when joining to install this software. Firefox will be fine.
Thanks
Drew

Likely some value for those that have not upgraded to Studio 2009
Jan 26, 2011
HI Nathalie. The presentation will still be valuable as you might learn a few things about 2007, and would be a good introduction to Studio 2009 in the event you are in the market to upgrade soon. There are some functions and features that are definitely unique to Studio 2009, but I am sure it will still be a valuable session.
Regards,
Drew
