TA/TC Certification training

Hi Lighthouse Annotator, If you are reading these instructions, you should have already taken LE Certification and either passed it or are waiting for the results. This means you should move on to TA/TC Certification as soon as possible. Once you have passed both LE and TA/TC Certification you will qualify for TA/TC Production. 😊

Disclaimer: If you still haven’t taken the LE Certification, please take it before moving on to TA/TC, because LE is the main pre-requisite for the entire project.

Below you can find information about the additional preparation materials for TA/TC Certification:

TA/TC Certification
Please, keep in mind that TA/TC Production has already started and the sooner you pass the TA/TC Certification, the sooner you will be able to start working on tasks.
Also, don’t forget that you only have two attempts at this Certification, so make sure to carefully go through all the provided material and instructions.

PREPARATION

Before moving on to taking the certification, please make sure to go through the learning materials provided below:

Training recording: [Lighthouse] - TA certification process training
Guidelines: Text Composition Guidelines

Important: for certification, please focus on Rewrite guidelines. However, during production all TA/TC guidelines shared on SharePoint will be necessary.

Orientation Module in OneForma: https://oneformauserstorage.blob.core.windows.net/certifications-course/2974/course/index.html#/

Practice tasks are similar to production tasks you’ll work on. Their main goal is to prepare you for certification and production. Here’s the link:

de_DE DAL - Magic Rewrite

es_MX DAL - Magic Rewrite

es_ES DAL - Magic Rewrite

es_US DAL - Magic Rewrite

fr_FR DAL - Magic Rewrite

it_IT DAL - Magic Rewrite

IMPORTANT:

· Please complete not more than 5 practice tasks before moving on to certification. Please make sure to count and stop once you submitted 5 tasks, because they won’t stop automatically.

· Please make sure your inactive time (the time with the tool open when there’s no activity in the tool) is as low as possible. To assure this, please close the tool whenever you’re not working in it and try to work in parallel windows rather than in few tabs, in case you need to have guidelines open.

TAKING CERTIFICATION

After checking the training and the guidelines, you should move to taking the certification.

· Here you can find the link for certification:

DAL de_DE DAL - Magic Rewrite

DAL es_ES DAL - Magic Rewrite

DAL es_MX DAL - Magic Rewrite

DAL es_US DAL - Magic Rewrite

DAL fr_FR DAL - Magic Rewrite

DAL it_IT DAL - Magic Rewrite

Please, keep in mind that due to technical issues with es_ES certification, es_ES resources will take their certification in es_MX. Therefore, there may be some differences in vocabulary, regional expressions, and certain grammatical structures. For example, the resources may notice that some words, phrases, or even verb conjugations may differ between the two variants of Spanish and they should make sure to grade as if they were es_MX only on this particular occasion.

IMPORTANT NOTES FOR CERTIFICATION:

1. Scope: You will receive a notification “No more tasks available” once you complete the certification. The certification will be considered completed and sent to review only after you submit all tasks and reach notification “No more tasks available”.

2. Deadline: please make sure to complete the certification at your earliest convenience, and not later than 4 pm , November 13th.

3. TA/TC certification is in your locale language.

4. The purpose of Certification is to check your understanding of the guidelines. It will be reviewed, and we will receive scores. Having a passing score is a prerequisite to participate in project production for TA/TC sub-project. Therefore, please make sure that each submission is in line with the guidelines. Take your time to go through each step of the task and double check everything before submitting – once you submit the task, you cannot go back to it.
