This remark was in reference to a workshop I presented on May 9, 2019 for the STIBC called Language Specific Translation Workshop Series: Spanish to English.

With a 20% pass rate on average, the STIBC Certification Exam can be challenging even for those of us who have years of experience. This workshop will ideally strive to prepare working Spanish to English translators for that challenge!

Websites

Her background in forest products was apparent as we discussed possibilities during the site's conception.” - Tim F., Black Creek, BC, Canada.
