Important: Those that purchase a seat in advance may be able to pay an "early bird" or cheaper price, and those that confirm participation later or last minute, may likely get to pay a higher fee. In some training sessions a price increase based on the number of registrants may also apply, i.e. the first 15 registered pay one price, the next 10 pay a a slightly higher price etc.
Early payment is advised in order to secure participation and help reach the course minimum participation - unfortunately, courses may occasionally be cancelled or rescheduled, if the confirmed participation in advance is very low.
Your purchase includes:
* access to the online session with a Q&A portion,
* unlimited access to video recording and handouts (available within one working week after the session),
* a certificate of attendance available for download from your ProZ.com profile.
Even if you do not attend the online session you will still have unlimited access to the video recording and training materials within one working week after the session.

Here is some feedback from others on this course's trainer:
"Kudos to Philippe, who presented the webinar "Domptez Wordfast Anywhere, le seul outil TAO vraiment gratuit qui en vaille la peine". The content of the presentation was excellent and the flow was just right...not painfully slow as one might expect with this sort of material (after watching certain YouTube presentations by IT personnel of a well-known company who sadly know nothing about teaching). Philippe thinks and speaks clearly and shares his knowledge honestly with his audience." Michelle Arpin

Hello FranNY13, I'm sorry you are no able to attend. As always the training will be recorded and all resource material will be made available after the session. Some people take that option, they purchase the training and follow it when it suits them better. Off-course doing it this way is not as interactive. I haven't planned doing a self-paced training on ProZ.com at present. However i can provide personalized training.

To use Wordfast Anywhere you do not need to have Wordfast intalled. You just need an internet connexion and a device with a good internet browser. The new interface works very well even on android browsers or on 2 In 1 transformer books computers. So it's very mobile and it's free.

Informative training course. I knew about WFA because I have an account since 2009 or 2010, but didn't know how to use, I tried to, since I probably don't have Trados yet, which may be required for its use.
Thanks Helen and Philippe for the training. I really appreciate it.

WFA full featured is accessed through wordfast.com/myaccount.
Keeping freetm.com allows users of that kind of account to transition smoothly, download their assets etc.
The starting month is at 1 USD. Linguists can decide to stop at anytime. Nobody is locked in a yearly subscription, you buy credit as you go, whichever number of months you want. This page describes everything quite clearly https://www.wordfast.com/anywhere And, as with other Wordfast products, linguists residing and working in countries with developing economies get 50% off straight away (even on the first 1 USD month, and before VAT).
Be well 😊
