&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Trados&lt;span class="emoticon" data-url="https://uat.community.rws.com/cfs-file/__key/system/emoji/2122.svg" title="Tm"&gt;&amp;#x2122;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;Certification program&lt;/strong&gt; enables individual translators and project managers to validate their knowledge and expertise in the use of Trados products. Achieving Trados Certification demonstrates that you are fully prepared to work with the world&amp;rsquo;s leading translation technology.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span class="emoticon" data-url="https://uat.community.rws.com/cfs-file/__key/system/emoji/2753.svg" title="Question"&gt;&amp;#x2753;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What are the certification levels available for Trados Studio?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span class="emoticon" data-url="https://uat.community.rws.com/cfs-file/__key/system/emoji/27a1.svg" title="Arrow right"&gt;&amp;#x27a1;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;There are &lt;strong&gt;three levels for Trados Studio 2024&lt;/strong&gt;: &lt;strong&gt;Level 1&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Level 2 and Level 3&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each level includes:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A workbook/manual&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Sample files&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Online exams (with 3 attempts per level)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For existing &lt;strong&gt;Studio 2022&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Certified users&lt;/strong&gt;, a &lt;strong&gt;Trados Studio 2024&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;New Features&lt;/strong&gt; exam is available free of charge with the upgrade to Studio 2024. Passing this exam upgrades their Studio 2022 certificate to the equivalent Studio 2024 certification level, demonstrating up-to-date knowledge of the latest features and enhancements.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Level 1&lt;/strong&gt;: Often available &lt;strong&gt;for free&lt;/strong&gt; with purchase of Trados Studio or via academic/student programs.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Levels 2 and 3&lt;/strong&gt;: Must be &lt;strong&gt;purchased separately&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Each certification costs &amp;euro;49 individually.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A &lt;strong&gt;certification bundle&lt;/strong&gt; for Levels 1, 2 and 3 is available for 99&amp;euro;.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;For perpetual licenses (Corporate, LSPs, Public Services), a &lt;strong&gt;free 1-month trial license&lt;/strong&gt; can be used to complete the training and certification.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Freelancers can try &lt;strong&gt;Trados Studio Freelance&lt;/strong&gt; risk-free for 14 days with a flexible &lt;a href="https://www.trados.com/product/studio/trial-studio-freelance/"&gt;subscription plan&lt;/a&gt;.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span class="emoticon" data-url="https://uat.community.rws.com/cfs-file/__key/system/emoji/2753.svg" title="Question"&gt;&amp;#x2753;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; 3. Is a Trados Studio license required to take the certification?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span class="emoticon" data-url="https://uat.community.rws.com/cfs-file/__key/system/emoji/27a1.svg" title="Arrow right"&gt;&amp;#x27a1;&lt;/span&gt; Answer:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No&lt;/strong&gt;, a full license is &lt;strong&gt;not required&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;For perpetual licenses (Corporate, LSPs, Public Services), a &lt;strong&gt;free 1-month trial license&lt;/strong&gt; can be used to complete the training and certification.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Freelancers can try &lt;strong&gt;Trados Studio Freelance&lt;/strong&gt; risk-free for 14 days with a flexible &lt;a href="https://www.trados.com/product/studio/trial-studio-freelance/"&gt;subscription plan&lt;/a&gt;. After the trial , they can either cancel or proceed with the purchase, upon which the Studio Level 1 eLearning and Certification will be made available for free.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span class="emoticon" data-url="https://uat.community.rws.com/cfs-file/__key/system/emoji/2753.svg" title="Question"&gt;&amp;#x2753;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; 4. How do users access the certification materials and exams?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span class="emoticon" data-url="https://uat.community.rws.com/cfs-file/__key/system/emoji/27a1.svg" title="Arrow right"&gt;&amp;#x27a1;&lt;/span&gt; Answer:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;After purchase or registration, users receive:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Access via the &lt;strong&gt;RWS University learning portal&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;An invitation email with login instructions (check your spam folder for emails from &lt;a href="mailto:learn@rws.com"&gt;learn@rws.com&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Once registered, training materials and certification will appear in your Dashboard.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span class="emoticon" data-url="https://uat.community.rws.com/cfs-file/__key/system/emoji/2753.svg" title="Question"&gt;&amp;#x2753;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; 5. How long does it take to complete each level?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span class="emoticon" data-url="https://uat.community.rws.com/cfs-file/__key/system/emoji/27a1.svg" title="Arrow right"&gt;&amp;#x27a1;&lt;/span&gt; Answer:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Each exam has a time limit:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Level 1: 40 questions &amp;ndash; 40 minutes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Level 2: 45 questions &amp;ndash; 45 minutes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Level 3: 50 questions &amp;ndash; 50 minutes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;[&lt;em&gt;To be added later&lt;/em&gt; : &amp;ldquo;If you require additional time or accessibility accommodations to complete the exam, please contact &lt;a href="mailto:learn@rws.com"&gt;learn@rws.com&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;quot;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span class="emoticon" data-url="https://uat.community.rws.com/cfs-file/__key/system/emoji/2753.svg" title="Question"&gt;&amp;#x2753;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; 6. When is the certification issued after completing the exam?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span class="emoticon" data-url="https://uat.community.rws.com/cfs-file/__key/system/emoji/27a1.svg" title="Arrow right"&gt;&amp;#x27a1;&lt;/span&gt; Answer:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Attendees are advised immediately on completion of the exam whether they have passed or need to retake it. On successful completion, they can download a Trados Studio Certified User badge and a PDF certificate.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span class="emoticon" data-url="https://uat.community.rws.com/cfs-file/__key/system/emoji/2753.svg" title="Question"&gt;&amp;#x2753;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; 7.

&lt;ul&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span class="emoticon" data-url="https://uat.community.rws.com/cfs-file/__key/system/emoji/2753.svg" title="Question"&gt;&amp;#x2753;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; 8.
