Who we are

We are translators through and through, who came to the profession in different ways. Translation is our passion. Together, we bring fifty years’ worth of experience and specialist knowledge to the table. By founding ACADEMIA, we have created a platform that allows us and many experts in various fields to offer a wide range of Continuing Professional Development opportunities.

Sharing specialist knowledge

Translation requires comprehension. How can you translate what’s in front of you if you don’t understand it? Our webinars offer basic, in-depth knowledge crucial for your specialist field.

Practical courses with a strategic foundation

Translating a text is like solving a puzzle. Thoughtful and strategic decisions are required constantly, for which a methodical framework is indispensable, as veteran translators with many years of practical experience will show.

Real texts for translation and terminology work

Translation is like playing a musical instrument. Without practice, you won’t learn or will soon forget. We focus on practical translation work, with as many opportunities as possible to hone your skills.
