- Dear all, I would like to criticise first then praise if I may? Firstly, I found the test answers too specific and if you didn put the exact phrase or spelling required you were penialised for a wrong answer even though you had put the right answer in a different way. Secondly, it was difficult to read the models lips with his hand movements being infront of his face at times. Praise This is a well designed introduction to british sign language and doesn take too long to get familiar with some of the basics. As a health professional, I would recommend this course as a means to maintain inclusivity and allow informed patient choice in the NHS. It should be an expected standard and should be started in and at the new style medical school level. Thanks for an enjoyable education in communication with sign language. Richard Corkill ====================================== Tutors Note: Thanks Richard. Although the tests do accept some common spelling errors it is difficult to program for all possible spelling errors, but this is something that I am continually trying to improve. Thanks for your feedback.

Best Online Course Ever
I started learning BSL as part of my Student Nursing course and I have absolutely loved it! It covers such a range of topics and having completed it, I feel really proud of the skills I have learnt. The course structure was perfect, the videos showing the signs were so helpful and the tests at the end of each lesson were very helpful in solidifying the knowledge. I love that you can choose how much to pay for the course and I would really recommend this to anyone wishing to get a brilliant level of BSL knowledge and skill. Thank you!
