With their help we were able to translate the German DIHK (German Chamber of Industry & Commerce) final examination, that each participant of the dual Apprenticeship program has to take. Upon successful completion of that exam the Apprentices not only receive the GACC certificate that is accepted on state and federal level, but also the German certificate that makes them employable in their occupation beyond the US. We really appreciate Trustpoint.One's help and can only highly recommend their excellent translation services and expertise in multi-language desktop publishing, subtitling and voiceovers. If you ever need help translating business or legal documents, visit their website or Linkedin for more information.
Thank you, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette for shining light on our apprenticeship program.
