Translation, Desktop Publishing,
Print and Web Services

APT is currently working with 5 central government departments including the Department for Education and Skills (DfES) which required numerous leaflets in 10 languages, ultimately required for both printed copies and their website.

The Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) regulate, develop and modernise the curriculum, assessments, examinations and qualifications. Providing information in numerous languages is now very important as the migrant population in the UK increases.

Our ability to provide translation, desktop publishing, print and web services was a leading factor in securing this partnership with the QCA who preferred to keep the assignment with one supplier.

We were able to provide key information at the design stage which would allow the files to be easily prepared for print and web publishing in all the languages required. Our 10-year track record with the DfES was the additional factor that made us the chosen provider for the work.
