Basic terminology in legal settings
Mar 15, 2013
Hello dear Claudia, I would like to purchase your seminar, since it's been quite a while since I have translated a franchising contract and am only dealing with legal terms at the moment in my native language of German. Can I purchase it at a discount price, please? Many thanks.
Best, Juliana Mraz

5 sessions bundle discount
Apr 4, 2013
Dear Claudia,
I am very much interested in your training session and I was thinking about purchasing the 5 sessions bundle but I have a doubt regarding the April 2 T06 - Basic Terminology in Healthcare & Medicine session, which has already took place. Do you think I will have access to the videos and materials of that session as well, even though I buy the package after the live session? Thank you so much for helping me clarify this doubt. Best reagards, Rossana

Hope this helps.

I have several questions please 1)Do you still get an attendance certificate if you purchase the bundle, as you will have access to videos? I missed the Terminology one 2)Also I would like to know more about the EU one, as I graduated in EU affairs, so probably know the procedure-preliminary proceedings, etc. Is it about these? 3) You will explain about US legal system/terms but are they general & used in most countries, but with different terminology? Thank you, Jos... See more
