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!

This was a very good course to do online , you could do it in your own time and have as many goes as you want. I really enjoyed doing this picking up some new skills and being able to show what I've learned to my family and friends. I can now hopefully use these skills confidently when i go back to work as i work in a school as a teaching.assistant.carly salter - 07 May 2020Lock down well spent

Simple to follow, this course is all you need to learn basic conversational language in BSL. Any aspect of the course can be revisited at any time so uiu can practice as little or as much as you like! Definitely recommend.Ashley - 06 May 2020Very Good Course!
Completed this course during the lockdown as part of my CPD. Really good - will try to keep practising so that I don’t forget it all.Jenine - 05 May 2020Great Course
This is a perfect building ground for starting to learn and incredible language.My partner and I have been self teaching for about 6 months before deciding to enrol and we are kicking ourselves for not enrolling sooner as our conversations have improved so much from just this simple course!
We can’t wait to expand our knowledge!

Erika - 03 May 2020BSL course
Found so interesting and could do at my own pace in my own home, will help in work and my 7year old daughter enjoyed learning different signs too.Nickee young - 03 May 2020Amazing!
I love this service, I am only 11 but I have just finished one of the very detailed courses, and I feel like I could talk fluently to another BSL user and understand what they say.Tommy - 02 May 2020Great course
Great start to the world of signing for me this is just the start i fully intend to try and find a group to continue this.I work for a local zoo where we often get various people of different needs coming through the doors and children from schools all over the area.
You never know when this will come in handy when you are that one person who takes the time to have a conversation with someone that is hard of hearing or uses this language.
Totally recommend, i feel this signing should be compulsory in schools just as children are taught french and German.
The tutors are very responsive and provide suggestions in order to continue your signing journey
catherine fletcher - 02 May 2020Brilliant
An excellent course, I really enjoyed it.I really liked the final assessment and putting into practice what I had learnt!
Daniel FROST - 01 May 2020Rewarding and Fun
Would recommend to everyone. Really easy to use, lots of great advice, and plenty of links to further resources. Simon is a great teacher. Thank you!Rachel - 30 April 2020Great Training
I have thoroughly enjoyed taking part in this training over the last week and a few days (completing it in the evenings). My only negative about the course, is that there were a few questions were I was marked incorrect, even on the final assessment, due to the odd mistype. For example, I missed the t in the middle, from appointment. I am dyslexic and do struggle sometimes with quick spell - hand eye coordination. Not sure if there can be some leeway for spellings. A part from that, I really enjoyed spending my evenings doing this course. Even my 4 year old joined in with some of the signs, she remembers them from baby sign language.Harriet Evans - 30 April 2020
