The course explores best practices, relevant standards, and the ethical and creative considerations involved in ensuring that all audiences can fully experience audiovisual media.

Conclusion
During the pandemic, my tourism-focused translation business slowed down significantly. I used this time to expand my skill set and specialize in subtitling by enrolling in GoSub's Subtitling for Translation & Accessibility course. The course provides comprehensive training in subtitling, SDH subtitles, and quality assurance. Just a year after finishing the course, my first subtitled film, Crazy About Her, premiered on Netflix. I highly recommend this course to linguists eager to learn how to subtitle.

Last week, I finished my OOONA course "Subtitling for Translation & Accessibility", a comprehensive, tutored online course teaching the basics of subtitling, subtitling for translation and SDH/captioning.
Thanks to Kelly O´Donovan for her support and feedback throughout the course!
I find subtitling can get really intense because you become so deeply immersed in the film/material. Sometimes, when working on the course in the evenings, I even dreamt of the project I was working on!
Think I found a new passion there.
But there are also some side effects: working on a translation in a PowerPoint file today, I had to insert text boxes with two lines ... and I found myself becoming VERY particular about line breaks, placement of subt... uh, text boxes etc.
Cannot wait to apply my new skills "in real life" now

I did the GoSub CC/SDH course. It was well structured, user-friendly and equips you with all the knowledge about subtitling and captioning.
The course has a task after each topic which was very helpful in acquiring practical knowledge. My tutor was friendly and provided excellent feedback for the tasks which helped me improve my learning.
I’m so glad I did this course with GoSub. It was a great experience.

I finished the Gosub Pro course 6 months ago, and Kelly has been an excellent tutor of the highest quality. She always helped me to solve my doubts and was always available to call me on Skype if the doubts were not resolved. The GoSub Pro course is a modern course, complete, that meets the quality standards that subtitles should have and thus be able to work with the best entertainment platforms. Finally, the most important thing was the professionalism with which my tutor worked, I am very happy with the results of having taken the GoSub Pro subtitling course.

GoSub is an amazing program that I would recommend to anyone who wants to learn subtitling as a vocational skill, as it thoroughly details every aspect of the profession. Kelly has been a very attentive instructor, always willing to guide through whatever snags and technical difficulties I had had along the way. The quality of the education I have received from the course has surpassed my expectations.
