ART OF DIVERSITY Linguistic validation course

Nur has created a very thorough, intricately detailed course on linguistic validation for medical translators. Every part of the LV process is clearly presented and accessible, with extensive background information on COAs, the clinical trial context and the development process. She also takes time to nurture students and offer valuable guidance on self-care to deal with the stresses that medical translators can face. Nur has been extremely generous in sharing her vast knowledge and professional experience, together with a wealth of resources and reference materials, and most of all her boundless empathy and kindness. This course will equip future linguistic validation consultants and project managers with all the tools they need to diversify their medical translation services in this exciting field. Thank you so much, Nur, for everything!

What I liked most about the course was the good balance between theory and practice. This kept the participants engaged and prepared them well for real-life projects. I strongly recommend it.

Lots of interesting information but maybe too many and too quickly: 6 hours of online webinar per week in 4 weeks is very intense for people working at the same time. I also found a certain imbalance with Module 3 being much bigger than Module 4 or Module 5. Regarding this last module (5), I think it would deserve more time as it is really useful but felt kind of done quickly at the end. As mentioned during the 1 to 1 interview, I would maybe consider having 2 training: 1 LV Consultant training and 1 LV Project Manager training.

I highly recommend the Linguistic Validation Course for Medical Translators to anyone interested in specializing in this fascinating yet complex field. It offers a deep dive into the world of COAs and linguistic validation, masterfully combining theoretical knowledge with detailed practical guidance to deal with each step of the process. Nur is an amazing instructor, capable of sharing her knowledge with generosity and passion, while fostering a collaborative environment among course participants.

I attended the first edition of the course on Linguistic Validation for Medical Translators, and I must say that I was extremely satisfied with it. The lecturer is very knowledgeable and competent, and in addition to explaining precisely all the steps of Linguistic Validation, she provided us with a lot of very useful material. I can only highly recommend this course to all medical translators or PMs who want to delve into the vast world of Linguistic Validation.

I have not enough words to express how useful and enriching I found this course. In addition to providing a lot of insightful materials of every single aspect involved in the linguistic validation process, Nur also provides invaluable practical advice based on her many years of experience in the industry. Her classes are interesting and dynamic, and she does a great job creating a friendly community where everyone feels appreciated and valued, regardless of their experience. She is also very respectful of those who don't feel so comfortable participating during the classes allowing for questions and comments to be posed in writing in the online community. The course offers different perspectives based on the linguists' language pair, experience, and preferences for the different tasks, and in the one-on-one meetings she is able to offer additional advice tailored to one's specific needs and situation. I fully recommend this course.

I recently completed a linguistic validation course and couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. The material covered was extensive and incredibly useful, providing deep insights and practical knowledge that I can apply directly to my work. Working alongside our knowledgeable instructor added immense value to the learning process, and I am truly grateful for all the effort and expertise she brought to each session. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to enhance their skills in linguistic validation. It's been a rewarding journey, and I'm very happy with all the work we did together!

I have honestly enjoyed attending this LVC course both professionally and personally. Thanks to the experience shared by the invaluable Nur Ferrante, I have been provided with the tools needed to provide a complete LV service that would meet any CRO, LSP or LV specialized company’s needs. I am now ready to embark on this exciting career as LVC and play my part retrieving from patients their true representative voice.

A very detailed course, full of information provided with clarity. Fantastic course to get into the linguistic validation because it provided a lot of material to continue reading and learning about it, the exercises and practices were meaningful and the instructor (Nur) explained all clearly. She is very approachable, generous, and provided professional guidance which is something which tends to be missing in Masters and other courses. All in all, this course and the instructor's support and teachings have been very valuable and a strong introduction to linguistic validation.

I cannot recommend this course enough if you are seeking to pursue a career in this complex but extremely rewarding and passionate field. It is a very thorough and informative course that requires time and dedication. The course material is excellent and covers mostly everything (if not all!) you need to know about linguistic validation. Nur is a real expert in this field and it has been a privilege to learn so much from her during these past few weeks. Thank you for everything, Nur!
