Course Conditions for TranslaStars.COM

 

The main objective of TranslaStars courses is for students (those persons or entities purchasing courses) to acquire theoretical and practical knowledge through high level content taught/created by active professionals related to the specific characteristics of each course.

 

The aim is also for students to acquire theoretical and practical knowledge by means of self assessed or tutor controleld activities (depending on the course and its nature-live/asynchronous) that will help them advance in their professional career.

 

In any case, in all types of courses, students have the possibility of contacting the creator of the course and/or the course tutors and make them questions about the course contents. 

Personal data provided by students upon registration and/or sign-up is stored at the TranslaStars headquarters at Calle Virgen de la Cabeza 9, Estepona (Málaga/Spain). Students have the right to access, modify, delete, or update their data by contacting TranslaStars at manager@translastars.com
