Online British Sign Language course for beginners

No. It is a single one-time payment. Nothing renews and there are no automatic future charges.

Yes. £5 is the minimum, £30 is the regular price. Pay what the course is worth to you. You get exactly the same course and the same certificate of completion, whatever you pay. Paying more helps us continue offering the course to people who can only afford the minimum.

Two full years from the day you first log in. You can come back at any point in those two years to refresh your skills.

You retake it. Assessments are free and unlimited. You can retake each one as many times as needed. The pass mark is 85% for each section and the final assessment.

The assessments check the learner’s understanding and recognition of the material covered in each section. They do not involve a tutor observing or grading the learner’s own signing, and the certificate is a certificate of course completion rather than a regulated BSL qualification.

Yes. The course has been assessed and certified by The CPD Certification Service. Each certificate carries a unique verification code your employer’s HR team can check online. The course is logged at 20 CPD hours.

Yes. Enter the number of seats you need at the top of this page. Each learner gets their own login, progress and a certificate of completion, and you get a single dashboard to track them. Pay by debit or credit card. Organisations can also choose invoice at checkout, provide a purchase order where required, and pay by bank transfer; a VAT invoice is generated automatically.

No. This is an introductory self-study course and is not a Signature qualification. It can help you build basic vocabulary and confidence before joining a tutor-led Level 1 course, or provide additional revision, but it does not replace formal Level 1 teaching or assessment.

Yes – the course can count towards the Skills section of a Bronze or Silver DofE (regular study over about three months), subject to approval by your DofE Leader. You don’t need to finish every section; when you’re ready, we prepare and submit your assessor report to eDofE for you.

Yes. You buy the course as normal, then create a printable or emailable gift voucher for the recipient from your enrolments dashboard – nothing separate to order. Good for birthdays, Christmas, retirement, Mother’s Day or Father’s Day.

Card payments usually make your enrolment dashboard available within a few minutes. If you pay by invoice and bank transfer, it becomes available once your payment has cleared. The learner’s two-year course access period does not begin until they first log in.

Everything is in your enrolments dashboard. From there you can see each seat, send or resend learners their login, track who has started and finished, and download certificates. Learners sign in separately through the course login.

Pay by debit or credit card for immediate access. Organisations can choose invoice at checkout and provide a purchase order where required; payment can then be made by bank transfer. A VAT invoice is generated automatically.
