A well-designed course for anyone wanting to start learning BSL, I undertook the course on my gap year so being able to take my time in learning it at home was wonderful! Being able to judge your progress with the assessments was useful, and allowing re-attempts was great in ensuring you have the knowledge before moving on! 🙂

I really enjoyed taking part in this course . I am currently studying for BSL Level I at Blanche Neville in North London and have found it extremely useful to have this course to follow in my own time at home. I have found using books to learn sign very difficult so it was great the way the video clips were available for repeating and extra understanding - have really benefitted from this programme and would recommend it to other beginners .

Loved this course - thankyou!
This course is ideal for total beginners to BSL as I was and was super easy to follow, and really easy to go at your own pace and repeat sections as often as necessary! Thankyou, this was a really positive way of spending some of my lockdown time.Lauren - 17 February 2021Amazing Course
Absolutely loved this course and was so easy to fit into my schedule. I used Sign Supported English at work and have loved learning more BSL signs.Alice - 13 February 2021Really great start
A brilliant introduction to BSL giving you a wide variety of introductory signs so you can begin to use them right away. No pressure to go at a certain pace and easy to revisit anything you're unsure about. The assessments are clear and you can start using BSL practically almost straight away.Kyle - 11 February 2021A REALLY GOOD COURSE
I am disabled with a head injury, so taking on any course which involved lots of reading/writing etc would be a big challenge for me, add to that signing and it would prove a HUGE Challenge. It proved to be just that but I really enjoyed every minute of it, 11 weeks of hard work, going over and over the content which was made easier with the videos and the fact I could go back over it time and time again until it eventually sunk in. Thank you, I really did enjoy this challenge!!!Paul Smith - 09 February 2021Fantastic course, easy to follow and can go at own pace to fit in with work. Thank you
Tracie-ann Haynes - 05 February 2021Enjoyable and Informative
I really enjoyed this beginners course for BSL. I plan on conintuing forward to make this a part of my teaching credentials. I plan to pursue this on a more indepth level.StephanieG - 04 February 2021Fun and thorough course!
The course has clear vidoes to watch that were easy to follow. Many signs had a comment underneath that connected the action of the sign to something familiar, which made it easier to remember. You will learn a lot of basic vocabulary as well as how to put sentences together which is really satisfying! Enrol now it's great 🙂Rebecca Hill - 28 January 2021LOVED IT! INTERESTING AND FUN
Great course! Like many here I’ve wanted to learn BSL. It was fun and easy to understand would defiantly recommend.Angie - 28 January 2021absolutely loved this course
I have really loved doing this course, it is certainly value for money. It is so easy to use, no pressure to complete any part, you can go back through every session as often as you need and believe me, you will be surprised how much you learn! I would recommend this course to anyone wanting to learn to sign.marion cain - 28 January 2021FUN, AMAZING, PERFECT
This course was great from start to finish. The layout is simple to navigate and very easy to follow. There's no limit to how many times you re-visit a section already completed. It's broken down into categorised sections, with videos on which you are aple to play in slow motion to make it easier. Wish I had discovered this course sooner!Aylis Coulson - 27 January 2021Really Great Course!
This has been such an enjoyable and easy course to follow! I have thoroughly enjoyed the simple layout, perfect for beginners! I can't wait to use everything I have learnt!Morgan - 26 January 2021A really fun and interesting course
I have absolutely loved doing this course, it's simple layout and easy to follow guide is perfect for beginners in sign language, I've done it through lockdown and it is a perfect way to keep busy! Now I'm hoping to be able to use this at work and in my community!Megan - 22 January 2021Loved It!
I've wanted to learn BSL for years and just never had the time. During the past year i've had had the time and more importantly, had FUN doing it. The course is fun, easy and simple. It's broken down into smaller parts to make it easier to practice each section before moving on. I would recommend it to anyone!Kirsty - 20 January 2021Great course
I have always wanted to learn BSL and have not been disappointed by this course. The course is well structured, clear and informative.I would like to see more conversation practise throughout the course similar to the final assessment and also to have one video clip of all the signs in each section, instead of having to click one each one when trying to recap. Otherwise a great course, thank you!
Ann - 17 January 2021Course review
This course is very good and informative. I enjoyed learning it.Islam Ahmed - 16 January 2021Amazing course
This was a great course to learn the basics of BSL as well as cultural factors. The only aspect I would like to have seen different was more vocab quizzes throughout to help learn the signs and perhaps the end of chapter assessments could be laid out a little more like the final assessment - with whole sentences and picking signs out of that.Amy - 13 January 2021Perfect course
This course was a great introduction to sign language. Very easy to follow. Able to do in own time so no pressure and feels very rewarding. Has good content that could easily be used in different scenarios. Definitely recommend.Jade - 10 January 2021Well worth while!
I absolutely loved this course- working at my own pace in my own time definitely benefitted me as a learner as I was able to have fun with it and put in my own practice. Absolutely recommend- thank you!Maddison Ball - 09 January 2021Fantastic for revision
Absolutely loved this course as I needed to brush up on my BSL as I have not used it in over 8 years. Fantastic way to revise and even learn new signs.Mike Macrae - 07 January 2021Fantastic course
I really enjoyed completing this course, the content is easy to follow and broken down into managebale chunks so that you can really get words and phrases learned well.
