The SDL Trados™ Certification program enables individual translators and project managers to validate their knowledge and expertise in the use of SDL Trados products.

The exam questions are based on the topics covered in the SDL Trados Studio 2017 – Getting Started Part 1 and 2 courses. Attendance on both courses, followed by practical experience of the topics covered, will prepare attendees to take the exam.

The exam consists of 40 questions and lasts 40 minutes.

Attendees will be advised on completion of their exam whether they have passed or need to retake.

Further Development:
