Hello, I had Trados 6.0 for a few years, and used it for perhaps 3 or 4 years. That was up to about five years ago. I would like to learn Trados SDL 2009, as I am planning to purchase it and making it a part of my every-day work. I was thinking of taking the Beginner's class, but would like to make sure this level is the correct one with someone with basic Trados notions. Thanks very much.
