AVTpro Certifications
The AVTpro certifications cover a range of tasks that translators are commonly asked to perform when working on media localization projects. Our certifications are designed to test your ability to apply your knowledge in real-world scenarios, so you are best prepared for the challenges you will face on the job, and prospective employers can rest assured you will be able to hit the ground running when they hire your services.
To reflect real practice in the industry when localizing audiovisual productions, we have devised two different but complementary certifications to start with: AVTpro Subtitle Translation and AVTpro Subtitle Creation.
In order to be eligible to sit for either certification, the AVTpro Subtitling Basics exam needs to be successfully completed first.
More certifications are planned for the future.
They will be prioritized according to the needs of the industry, reflected in the advice of our Advisory Board.
Subtitling Basics
The AVTpro Subtitling Basics exam is designed to test the linguistic and cultural knowledge of your working languages as well as the basics of subtitling practice through a series of automated tasks. It is a prerequisite to taking the AVTpro Subtitle Translation and the AVTpro Subtitle Creation certifications.
Subtitle Translation Certification
The overall goal of the AVTpro Subtitle Translation exam is to test your translation skills when creating subtitles in your target language from a template containing predefined subtitles in the language of the original production while adhering to the style guide provided.
Subtitle Creation Certification
The AVTpro Subtitle Creation exam is designed to assess your ability to produce subtitles from scratch, taking care of the spotting and translation of some short scenes, while carefully following the subtitling style guide provided to you.
