High purchase price for this sessionJul 15, 2015

The fee level (60 USD) is surprising, especially given that complete Wordfast tutorials are available for free on the Internet.

Hi Leo,

Thank you for sharing this comment. The session is being conducted by a translator and trainer who does not represent the Wordfast company. The original course lasts more than three hours and includes tips and tricks for ProZ.com translators. The online workshop allows participants to ask questions and receive answers from the trainer live. The fee also includes unlimited access to the video and a certificate of attendance. More training sessions on Wordfast-PRO, Wordfast-Classic, Kilgray MemoQ, SDL Trados Studio and other CAT tools can be found at http://www.proz.com/translator-training.php/topic/CAT-tool-training

My bests,
Helen

Hi Helen,

Thank you for your answer.

You are right to specify that the trainer does not represent the Wordfast company, as Wordfast is actually giving the same kind of information for FREE (for instance, cf. detailed videos on their Youtube channel).
