    Hello Amanialenazi,

    Thank you for your interest in the training. It is not a problem if you do not have experience using CAT tools. However, you might be willing to learn the tools. If you learn quickly that would make the process easier and shorter for you.

    This program does require certain background such as a proper degree or enough experience in translation but to make sure this course fits please feel free to contact the trainer via profile.

    Hope this helps.

    My bests,
    Helen
