Financial training courses for translators

The next financial training course will be held on

6 and 7 September 2010

18 and 19 November 2010

The courses are aimed at media professionals who wish to improve their technical knowledge of financial concepts. The course will cover the key areas encountered by financial translators (macroeconomics, bonds, equities, asset management, financial statements, etc.). CLS believes that good financial translating and writing requires a good understanding of financial concepts: the aim of this course is to give translators a solid grounding in the key areas of finance. The course will consist of eight 90-minute modules.

The course leader is Daniel Morgan, a freelance financial specialist who has recently worked as a senior financial translator at a large Swiss bank. He also has first-hand experience of corporate finance and derivatives from his time as an investment banker. The course is suited to post-graduate translators, established freelancers, and other media professionals wishing to hone their understanding of finance skills. It will be given in English and is open to attendees of all languages. To book a place, please fill out a registration form.

The courses cost £500 and are being held at our London offices, 132 Buckingham
Palace Road, London SW1W 9SA. Please contact +44 (0)20 7901 8770 or luke.wilkins@cls-communication.com for further information.
