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.

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.

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.

Many thanks for accompanying me in this great journey, Kelly. Happy subtitling :)!
