This course is designed for those looking to specialize in Subtitles for the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing (SDH) and Closed Captioning (CC). Aimed at beginners, it covers key concepts of accessibility, focusing on the specific needs of viewers who rely on SDH and CC to fully engage with media content. It encompasses fundamental terms and concepts, industry standard SDH and captioning guidelines, timing specs and processes, conversion between file formats and conforming processes.
Students will learn how to create and describe sound effects, character (speaker) IDs, how to caption music and lyrics, while also refining the skill to distinguish between what needs to be included and what can be omitted in the subtitles. By the end of the training, students will be able to create open and closed captions, subtitles for the deaf and hard-of-hearing, with a focus on practical skills for conforming existing files.
The course is suited for individuals with native or near-native proficiency in English, equipping them to deliver clear, accessible, and high-quality subtitles and captions.
Students who successfully complete the GoSub Subtitling for Accessibility course will receive a professional GoSub EDU certificate of completion.

I did the GoSub Pro, the course is well structured, the tutors are well prepared and attentive.
It’s impossible not to love the course. I’ve been learning so much with them!

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 completed the Gosub Pro course in March 2017 and never regretted it. The course was very well structured and easy to follow. Throughout the course I was supported all the way by Kelly.
I wholeheartedly recommend this course to anyone. Well worth the money!!

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 can’t recommend GoSub enough. Taking the GoSub Pro course has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever taken. The course and the training jobs are fantastic and Kelly is an incredible tutor, she supports you every step of the way and beyond, always going the extra mile. Many thanks for accompanying me in this great journey, Kelly. Happy subtitling :)!
