AVT Masterclass

“This SDH course by AVT Masterclass is a delight. Everything is thoroughly explained, with fellow professionals giving their input. And the materials to work with? Little film and TV gems. You will get to know several SDH conventions, and work with industry software. I wholly recommend it!”

“The SDH course is great. It includes plenty of content and opportunies to put theory into practise using professional tools. The interviews are one of the details I liked the most, as they provide very relevant insights about the needs of deaf and hard of hearing viewers as well as great input from professionals. Thanks, AVT Masterclass!”

“I would strongly recommend this course to anyone interested in SDH. The course is very accurate, extremely insightful, and contains extra bonus sections, such as videos with professionals, practical exercises, useful guidelines and recommendations. A must-have, well-designed course.”

“I love the way the course focused on the audience and what they would like to see in captions, then contrasting this view with the technical challenges we face to produce such captions. ”

“If you want to know the main guidelines for subtitling for the deaf and hard of hearing, this is the course you are looking for. It provides useful information, exercises, and even interviews with deaf and hard of hearing viewers.”

“A self-paced course lectured by some of the best AVT professionals, that offers the trainee the chance to work with ultimate softwares, as well as the most pertinent and useful tips to the translators who would like to pursue a carreer in the audiovisual field. The fact that every lesson includes an exercise helps knowledge consolidation and makes a complete difference!”

“I really enjoyed watching the first part of this course. The instructor is very clear, I am excited about the coming parts.”

“A professional course intended to all those who would like to become captioners or for SDH subtitlers who would like to improve their skills. The step by step approach of this course to SDH, helps the student to fully get to grips with the topic. The interviews, quizzes, exercises and downloadable material make it worthwhile.”

“Very informative course! I couldn't even imagine that I would learn so many differences between subtitles for hearing viewers and SDH. Each part is described in detail, plus exercises with the keys.”

“Your course made me feel a bit like I'm back on Uni! I really enjoyed clear way in which the material is presented. The greatest thing though is that interviews and videos included give insight into the world of deaf and hard of hearing people. ”

“This SDH course is a true mine of information! Besides information on basic subtitling rules and different style guides, you also get interviews with SDH users and researchers that provide valuable insights into what constitutes good-quality SDH subtitles. There are very diverse videos provided in the exercise sections, which, for me, were the highlight of this course. I found them really interesting and challenging! Describing music and sounds seemed a bit daunting at first, but thanks to a cheat sheet with sample sound descriptions and keys to exercises, it got easier over time! I definitely recommend this course!”

“No stone is left unturned in this amazing journey through closed captioning for the deaf and hard of hearing. You won't just find precise and complete technical information to get started, you'll also be given the possibility to put the things you're learning to the test as you move on through the course. What I liked best about this course is that SDH subtitling is not a perfect science, but rather something that requires creativity, sensitivity and good sense. Highly recommended! ”
