- What a great start to learning BSL. A very good value for money course and loads of support frm teh tutor. I made friends and found a forum where i was listened to with my assignment problems. The course was great as I worked through it at my own pace and completed all 7 assessments with 100% pass rate. being able to go over the courses and re-do them as many times as needed was very helpful and I look forward to purchasing more courses. Best wishes to you all. Jen Cook

An absolutely fantastic course
I have learnt a lot and feel ready to take on level one BSL. I have thoroughly enjoyed the course and it was fantastic that I was able to do this from the comfort of my own home with no pressures as to when I needed to complete the course. I would definitely do this course or similar on line again. Thank you British Sign!

- 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.
