Content Overview

This course is structured to serve as reference material, so you can go through the whole course in around one week, but, as your agency progresses, you will probably want to go back for refreshers, so to see how various steps can apply to your new situation.

Most of this course will be taught via videos, with some written notes and explanations for those wishing to go further in-depth.

By the end of this course, you will be able to use your knowledge to set up and run your own agency. You will understand what exactly you wish to achieve, how to find translators, how to find clients, and how to maintain the business running with both.

The world is becoming increasingly global, while jobs are less and less secure, and the Internet is, by now, near-universal. Combine all these factors, and you have a perfect storm of opportunity for people who wish to set up their own translation agency!

Don't be limited by the number of hours you can work on a translation, or how much you can get paid per hour/per word! Set up a Translation Agency so You can have other Translators work for You!

Robert has been a translator since childhood. He started translating for extra money while in high school, and continued to do so throughout college and graduate school. These days, his clients include banks, corporations, non-profits, consulates, as well as private individuals, and he has been able to expand and set up his own boutique Translation Agency called Lugano Translations, run entirely with Freelancers. His education and background was in finance and fiscal policy, and his translation agency specializes in financial and legal translations. His expertise is in Entrepreneurship and Freelancing, from both the perspective of the "hirer" as well as the "hiree". Robert also has a passion for languages, both for work and just for pleasure.

Credit Information

Is this course eligible for my CPD requirements as a Canadian CPA?

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.

Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
