Benefit from the various opportunities to familiarize yourself with Across. These opportunities include, for instance, online training sessions or interactive tutorials, as well as traditional classroom training sessions either at the site of our training partners or on-site in your company.
You can collect crossPoints for the online and on-site training sessions you participate in. The crossPoints will be stored in your profile, giving customers an idea of your Across experience and skills. Further information on the crossPoints qualification program is available here.
You can work through the interactive tutorials without any disruption and at any time you prefer. At present, our tutorials offer you an introduction to translating and project management with Across. You can start the tutorials directly from the website*, but you will also find them on your Across DVD.
