Dear Colleagues

While the class is ideally suited for practising translators, it is open to everyone having English in their combination (with a limit of 25 participants), including students. There is a 50% discount for students and also a 20% discount for members of translator associations (although you may want to check this detail). Participants can either take single modules (a module is 2 days) or the whole 10 day class (which will be cheaper) and will receive a certificate from the University of Geneva.
Here is a link to the brochure:

The course will cover all essential aspects of finance. I had the opportunity to meet the tutor in 2011 at the Summer University for Financial Translators in Spiez (Switzerland) and highly recommend him. He is an expert in the financial sector but has the ability to explain complex concepts in a very clear way (without any mathematics etc.). You can find his bio on the course brochure. ▲ Collapse

Small mistake in the brochure Jul 8, 2014

Hello Lucia, thank you for mentioning this course here on proz.com. Please note that I spotted a small mistake in the online brochure: the afternoon sessions start at 2pm (as you correctly mentioned), not 3pm. I informed FTI about this mistake, I hope they will correct it.
