2. What are TranslaStars courses for?
TranslaStars' courses are intended for you to train in certain specialties to become a better language professional.
If we look at things another way, when you get your driver's license, you have the right to drive, but you are not an expert in driving (something you learn little by little).
TranslaStars courses (mainly the ProD+T and ProD+L ones) develop your skills as a language professional by giving you feedback and an evaluation that helps you improve with each project and prepares you for the real world of translation.

4. If I pay the cost of a course and then I can't do it, do I get a refund?
The payment of the course implies that you have read our conditions. Unfortunately, we cannot refund the amount paid for the courses because we have to pay the agreed percentages for students to instructors, managers, etc.

5. How much time do I have to finish a course?
The courses are done at your own pace. We do not impose a time limit for you to finish them.
In the case of the courses with online paid training, you must have completed the course before you can start with the paid projects. In this type of course, if after one year since you enrolled you still haven't obtained your certificate, you will be able to continue doing the course, but you will lose the right to do the paid training part.

ProD+T Courses - Assessed Training
1. What is the training about in ProD+T courses?
ProD+T courses offer tutor assessed training (you can do it from wherever you want) after the completion of the course.
We have reached agreements with tutors who offer these projects and training, and provide you with feedback and evaluate all your projects (you will work with real projects that were completed and finished by your tutors) so that you can learn from real world examples and apply everything you have learned during the course alongside an experienced professional.
These projects are a trial period for you to fearlessly put into practice what you have learned (don't be afraid of making mistakes, we all do, but that's what tutors are for, to identify what can be improved on, to show you how, and for you to learn from the experience).
