I learned of “captioning and transcription” through a friend and who pointed me in the direction of GoSub. After an extensive conversation with Kelly I made the choice to do the course.
I couldn’t be happier with making the decision to do my CC/SDH course through them. Not only was the course well laid out, but the backing and support I have gotten from GoSub has been incredibly. They supply you with all the materials you need, and give solid feedback to help you improve yourself. They are not just a company providing a service; they are there for you every step of the way, even after you have finished the course. If I get stuck with something, Kelly has welcomed my many questions and many conversations with an open heart.
I would not be where I am today if it weren’t for GoSub, they have given me the tools (and continue to do so), given me confidence and they have given me a chance at becoming something I never knew existed. This course has taught me everything I need to know about this industry. I highly recommend this course / company to anyone who is interested in taking a new path in their lives.

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 to improve my learning.

Finally, I’m so glad I did this course with GoSub. It was a great experience.
