“This is a great course for anyone wanting to get a general, broad overview of subtitling best practices. While it is mainly geared towards linguists, I am a project manager who handles AVT jobs. I found it equally useful because I now have a better understanding of timings, template creation, and linguistic matters to consider. I will use these to help ensure my linguists have all they need to thrive. ”

“I have experience of translating and interpreting, so I thought it would be easy to do subtitling - just translate the text. Little did I know. Subtitling has a lot of nuances and if you want to be a professional - you have to know all of them. I think this course is a good start for those who have never done subtitling and want to understand what it looks like from the inside. The information was presented well, you would do exercises and I loved the speakers - full of light and knowledge. Going to pass some of the other courses here!”

FAQ

  • Is this actually cheaper than buying the three courses separately?

    Yes, and not by a token amount. Bought on their own the three courses come to €423. As a bundle they are €330, so you save €93. There is no catch and no expiring timer, it is simply cheaper to buy them together.

  • Which order should I do them in?

    If you're starting out, we recommend taking the courses in the order they appear. Fundamentals of Subtitling teaches you the language and conventions of subtitling. Timing Subtitles 101 then teaches you how to time subtitles effectively. Finally, Speed Up Your Subtitling Workflow helps you make the whole process faster and more efficient with the right tools. The courses are self-paced, so you can adapt the order to your own experience and needs.

  • Will I have to attend live classes?

    No. The courses are self-paced, and you'll have 12 months to complete them.

  • What if it turns out not to be for me?

    Then you get your money back. We offer a 100% money-back guarantee: if the courses don't deliver what we say they do, or they are not the right fit, tell us and we will refund you. We would rather you learned something than felt stuck with something.
