Nicholas Lynn - Financial Translator, New York

"Just want to let you know that my investments in WF and you were the best ones I've ever made! My busy season has been going incredibly well, and I appreciate all of your help. The only thing I would add is that the payback period on my investment (software plus training, including very reasonably priced three hours of private lesson) was less than two days. Since then, it's been day after day of less tedium and more money. Why didn't I do this years ago?!"


Karen T. - Translator

"Very relaxed and fun way about teaching the course. Very open to questions and suggestions. Great experience and I would recommend it to anyone."


Mona H. - Translator, Sydney

"It was a great training session.  Lots of learning and lots of fun... what we covered today was fantastic. I learned heaps and discovered some amazing features. Thank you so much John and thank you my Sydney colleagues! Can’t wait for the next session!"


Teresa V. - Translator, France

"I really enjoyed the training course and I am so glad I finally decided to do it in person after beating my head against the rock hard manual for a couple of years making very little progress and getting increasingly frustrated."


Kristin G. - In-house translator, London

"Thanks so much again for your very informative, personal training session, which covered both Wordfast Pro and Anywhere, so I feel quite privileged and learned a lot, even if I could have ask a dozen more questions :) Thanks also for kindly offering your support for questions on the workflow etc."


Anna F. - Translator, France

"I really enjoyed John's training. I already knew the basics of Wordfast, but I came away from the session with a better understanding of TM management, alignment, VLTM, etc. I'm already looking forward to the next session..."


Nathalie - Translator, France

"Thank you John ! As a newly set-up freelancer, I was looking forward to learning the basics. This course completely met my expectations. It was nice to meet some colleagues and I hope to see everyone again soon." 


Sheila W. - Translator, France

"I came home, downloaded Wordfast and have already successfully used it for a 'real' translation. Thanks very much for updating my skills with such patience, John."


Mary M. - Translator, France

"I thought it was excellent - John is a very good teacher and explains things very well. I had never used Wordfast before and it will certainly help me save time and money in the future... I highly recommend it - have fun!"


Valérie - Translator, France

"An excellent course, well explained and lively. John went through all the basics of Wordfast step by step and logically, which made it very easy to follow even for complete beginners like myself. He even went a bit further by giving us lots of useful tricks and shortcuts to enable us to understand the core of Wordfast's many functionalities and the ones that are most used and useful. I have since used Wordfast for all my translations and do not know how I did before without it !! Thank you John, you are a great teacher and I appreciated the way you taught us how to tame Wordfast! Looking forward to an intermediate/advanced session..."

"EXCELLENT QUALITY of on-site training - very good trainer. On-site training is a must for learning how to use this kind of software. Thanks again! This training will allow me to save time (and money). Thanks.


Clay - Translator, Nice

"Thanks for this added bit that helps us put things into a very focused perspective. I'd like to thank you, yes congratulate you on your performance yesterday. Your capacity to come down to our level and explain things in such way that we could understand truly made the training as enjoyable as it was beneficial. It was indeed the finest training that I've had over many years.  Adapted to our needs and level.  Bravo! The only thing lacking? Three more days of the same!"



Jack - In-house Translator, Paris

"Extremely interesting introduction to this very powerful tool. Also many Word advanced user tips. It was also a pleasure meeting Wordfast's developer Yves Champollion over lunch!"


Claudia - Translator

"Interesting and quite complete training session of two full days, with some amazing discoveries, such as Intelliwebsearch... I recommend this training, in particular for people who already use wordfast regularly and want to improve their practice. I want to congratulate all the Wordfast team for their clever and really user-friendly product. It's more than a product, it's a working companion. Thank you."

Alisa - Translator, France

"Many thanks, John, the training session was excellent! We certainly covered a lot of ground, but I came away with a good understanding of Wordfast and its potential uses.

"Thanks John, the training was well organized and every step of the use of Wordfast clearly explained and tested. I appreciated the fact that you regularly made sure everybody had understood before going ahead with the explanations... It was nice to meet other translators and I too hope to be able to participate to the intermediate course."
