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.

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.
