The online session from the bundle can be purchased individually, but if you wish to participate in all sessions from the series you can purchase THREE online sessions as a complete package at the special early bird price: 120 USD80 USD:
* 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.
Important: Those who purchase a seat in advance may be able to pay an "early bird" or cheaper price, while those who confirm participation later or last minute, may likely have 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.
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.

booking on 3 seminars
Jan 24, 2018
Hi, I just wanted to check that I was booked on the 3 seminars: Express Scribe, You Tube Transcription and Audacity - re voiceover software. It's just that when I booked they gave reference numbers and the title was something about translating contracts etc, which seemed strange?
