    Once you have scored 85% on the assessments for each lesson, and the final assessment, you are awarded a certificate to show that you have completed the course.

    Our certificate is accredited by CPD.

    Assessments can be retaken as often as you like at no extra cost.

Loved it!

I work with mentally ill people and it's sometimes frightening enough for them not to be able to communicate clearly due their illness without the frustration of being deaf too. I can now ease some of that frustration for any client in this position (and their relatives) to hopefully make their recovery easier. Wish I had done it much sooner. Loved it!

Great Course for Beginners

Having no knowledge of BSL I found this online course useful to learn some basic words and to use understand how it all works and to help communicate with hard of hearing people. I work on reception at an audiology department and will find it useful to communicate with patients with the basic sign language I have learnt.

I am now considering to try and expand my knowledge and enrol BSL Level 1.

This course is fantastic so worth it. It is informative, easy to follow and features like the mirror and even small details like the instructor wearing a wristband on the primary hand really helps you feel confident that you are really learning and understanding what they mean. I had been looking into learning BSL for a little while but once i found this course it was a no brainer with the donation option which means you pay what you can makes it so accessible. So if you see this and you are on the fence, DO IT, learn BSL you won’t regret it.

The course was extremely helpful and easy to use. I learnt lots and was able to use it for my D of E. Also, with the Pay What You Can, I wasn’t expensive, plus I have access to it for 2 years. Overall, great

I really enjoyed doing the BSL course. Very informative and helpful and I hope I can use my new skills to help others or when I lose my speech an alternative way for me to communicate.
