Some feedback from others on this course's trainer:


"I'm new to ProZ and I confess I was very lost, trying to fill in my profile and understand how everything works by trial and error. So when I came across the announcement for the course I knew I had to do it. But it really exceeded my expectations. It was a very friendly and warm way to educate new users of the platform. I will definitely look for further education with you."
Gabriela Sampaio




"I looked at my profile from a new point of view. And got helpful advises, how to increase my competitive advantage. All I needed for it - one hour and professional advice. Dear Florencia, thank you so much!"
Elena Kharitonova




"This course was very helpful. Florencia gave very concrete and hands-on tips to improve my profile and reach more clients. Thank you!"
Philipp Reinhold



"Clear, concise and to the point. I thought I knew everything there was to know about profile building on this site, but I actually learned several new things that I can already apply. Absolutely worth attending, even if the next free slot is months away."
