Introduction to Humanitarian Translation for the TWB Community

Hi Gloria! I just saw your post with the “April 2021 news”. Is this course/certificate being updated to reflect the change to Memsource? If so, it could be worth taking it again, after the transition!

Hi @kwifo.mikhaela21 and welcome to our community!
I moved your message to this existing one. I read the first message of this thread and I see you are most possibly right. The course is being updated at the moment: this is why you cannot access it.
I hope this problem will be solved soon.
In the meantime have a nice day and thank you for your support!

Hello, I’m a novice here, I have completed the Course: Introduction to Humanitarian Translation for Kató Translators. But I don’t have the checkmarks, I took them again them but nothing has changed, my last score for the test was 75%. You guys that have more experience than me, please, What you recommend to do?

Hi @saraenriquez240,
thank you for reaching out and welcome to our community! You need to get 100% score to pass the test and get the final certificate. If you don’t get it the first time, you should try it again until you pass it.
I hope this helps.

My concern is since I saw the results, I have been trying to correct my answers to get 100%score, I have updated my answers several times but the system still marks 75%
Any suggestions are highly appreciated, please. Thanks for your reply. :pray:

Hi @saraenriquez240

I’m sorry to hear you’re having issues with the course :thinking:

I think the problem is that you’re not enrolled in the course! You must follow step 2 in the instructions above:

:pushpin: 2. Enrol in the course:

Once your account is activated, you will be able to enroll in the course. Just go to the course’s main page, click on the clog symbol, and then on “enrol me in this course”.
Please note that if you do not enrol, the platform will not let you take the final quiz and you won’t obtain the certificate.

Let me know if this sorts it out or if you have any other questions :smiley:

Thanks @faretto5 for pinning me :star2:

Hello @ClaudiaM! I have made an account but I cannot find the clog button to enroll…the only button I see is the one that says “Take the Course”… is the Enroll button on that site too?

thanks!

Hi @marcediana
