I have purchased Trados 2019 and I am beginning to study how it works. Can you please tell me which certificates I am required to attain to be able to provide my services as a freelance translator on proz.com?
Are there resources available here to study for these exams?
Hello Ana-Maria, in relation to SDL Certification exams, is the score shown on the Certificate and if I pass the exam but I am not happy with my score can I do it again to improve it? Thank you very much. Rosalina

On the certifications, there are 40 questions to be answered in 40 minutes, split in 4 pages each with 10 questions to be answered in 10 minutes. Once the test is finalised you will see the test results. To pass the test you would need to respond correctly at minimum 30 questions.
I have also done some of the above and there is no possibility to retake the test if you passed it. However the workbook, sample files, presentation remain with you so if you wish at a later stage to review certain information you can do so.
Thank you very much Loredana. One more question if you do not mind - does it make a difference if I pass with 30 questions correct or with 39 questions correct? In other words, is it the case that a pass is a pass, or is the score graded and visible on the certificate?
Hi Rosalina, Just so you know, you don't have to be certified to offer services on proz. If you can use the software, you can advertise that you use it.
