Hy there,
did anybody participate in one of the trainings offered by the ECQU to become a Certified Terminology Manager?
Is it worth it and does it significally improve the opportunities in the market for a translator?
Thanks in advance for all answers!

Looks fun if you have time and money to waste, but I doubt that it will get you any more work as a translator. The number of people in the world who are actually being paid to do terminology work is extremely limited.

I wouldn't say it's wasted time and money, but maybe the time and money is spent
more useful in another way ...
