Great course
I joined an online baby sing & sign group at the start of lockdown, because I did not have any opportunities for baby activities during my maternity leave. I enjoyed it so much that I decided to do this course, because I wanted to do something useful during my maternity leave that I can benefit from in the future. I really enjoyed this course. I particularly enjoyed the final assessment, because it showed me that I can understand whole sentences and not just a few random words. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to get a flavour of what sign language is all about.

Perfect lockdown productivity!
Amazing resource, perfect for completing during lockdown. Always wanted to learn basic BSL, to help on placement and whilst working, as a future doctor. Never seem to be able to make courses etc, so an online course is perfect. Thank you very much for lowering the price due to the financial hardship some people will find themselves in during this outbreak. Amazing resource, can go through at your pace - I tended to do half a module each day. Perfect!Gwenllian Roberts

Highly recommend
A brilliant and engaging course! It was well organised and easy to follow.Emily - 04 June 2021A fantastic intro to BSL!
A fantastic introduction to BSL with useful links and information. The course is broken down into units with an assessment at the end of each unit (this can be taken as many times as you want). The instructions and videos are clear. There is even a handy mirror tool using your webcam so you can check what the actions would look like to another person. I completed this over a year - there are lots of signs to learn so important not to rush it. Would love there to be a level 2 online course. Would highly recommend!Shannon - 03 June 2021Easy to follow!
Fantastic course that allows you to study at your own pace. You can revisit lessons as often as you can and it contains all the essentials! The lessons all have videos which show the signs as well as little tips on how to remember them. Thoroughly recommend!Chloe Thomas - 02 June 2021Fun and Encouraging!

I feel I now have a basic foundation to continue to build on and learn further sign language!Amy Scott - 26 April 2021Very rewarding!
Sign language is something I have wanted to learn for a few years now, and I decided to take the plunge and enrol in this course. It is 100% worth it, the course has a lot more content than I expected but it is easy to follow, you can do it in your own time, and it is definitely beginner friendly. I would highly recommend to everyone! Thank you.Victoria - 22 April 2021Great beginners course
This is a great course I really enjoyed it. The videos are very clear and it was nice to be able to go at my own pace/repeat as much as necessary. I think it is well structured and you learn some phrases along with vocab categories. My only suggestion would be more example phrases.Erin - 21 April 2021Perfect For Beginners

I found it extremely fun and enjoyable to work through and definitely want to continue with my BSL learning. i would highly recommend this course!Alisha Harris - 20 April 2021GREAT WAY TO LEARN
Something I've always fancied learning. Had the opportunity to learn this on-line at my own pace. Many thanksSuzanne - 20 April 2021Fantastic!
I have thoroughly enjoyed this course. It really isn't the type of thing you can coast your way through. It's detailed, wide-ranging and well thought out. I really liked that there was the same person signing for the whole course as I felt like I got used to his style and that made it easier as I went through. It's made me want to carry on learning! It was extremely flexible and something I could access as and when it suited me. I'd wholeheartedly recommend it if you are committed to learning BSL.Ellie - 20 April 2021Great Course
