Curriculum Bartho Kriek

Subtitling, or Audio-visual Translation, of growing importance worldwide:

Subtitling is growing ever more important worldwide, not only because the market for subtitling for DVD is constantly growing, but more and more people are in need of audio-visual translations because they're hearing-impaired or illiterate. Also subtitling for the internet is becoming more and more important.

With the Compact Course you can learn it in any language combination, although we advise the combination EN-Any Language because most audio-visual productions are produced in the English-speaking world.
