Description
Get startet as a M&A Translator and Interpreter. Success in cross-boarder and multinational mergers and acquisitions (M&A) relies on effective understanding and communication across all parties, no matter the country or spoken language of the companies involved. The efficient, effective sharing of information between all parties to the transaction, in their language of choice, requires skilled translators and interpreters with a comprehensive understanding of the documentation it produces. As part of the business, financial and legal translation, this technical skill will help you make more money as a specialized translation. Mergers and Acquisitions refers to the consolidation of companies.

No course on translation, only generic M&A, lots of grammar, vocabulary and accentuation errors
Dec 18, 2015
I like knowing more about M&A and learned maybe 10% more here than I knew. Course is, despite title, no course for translators though as there was virtually no content on M&A translation challenges. Course needs better planning as it became 1 hr and 40 minutes instead of announced 60 minutes. The many grammar, vocabulary and erroneous accentuation errors of the trainer and his presentation sheets were distracting.

"a) The course is called "M&A Mergers and Acquisitions Translation", but it was really only a course ..." Read moreon "M&A Mergers and Acquisitions". The translation part was virtually non-existent.
b) The presentations contain a number of serious spelling and grammatical errors, showing the speaker has no experience in a real world English speaking environment in an English speaking country.
c) It was too ambitious, as the planned hour became 1 hour and 40 minutes."
