The only short course I managed to find is a 3 day course at London Metropolitan University. Do you think that sounds reasonable to get a good base to start professional subtitling? [/quote]
I think it's a great place to start. 3 days isn't too much of an investment, and it will tell you pretty quickly whether subtitling is for you or not. I play around with programs like Visualsub and Aegisub in my spare time and I must say, subtitling is a lot harder than it looks! But it's fun in its own way, so go for it!
