Great Intro into sign language
I have always wanted to start to learn sign language and found this really clear and easy way to learn at my own pace. This has a great course structure as you work your forward and start to put it together. I would highly recommend this course to anyone.Daniel Tegg - 01 July 2020Brilliant Resource
An amazing course, well structured and easy to learn. Would highly recommend!Sophie Thomson - 30 June 2020Excellent course!
An accessible and great value for money introduction to BSL. The course is split into sections, with mini-assessment after each, which makes it easy to plan around your own time. I recommend learning the basics - you never know when they will come in useful!Christine Watson - 30 June 2020AMAZING
This course was really easy and enjoyable and I have managed to learn so much in a short period of time! I now feel more confident to communicate with other BSL users! I highly recommend this course!Jamie Chandler - 29 June 2020Invaluable
Considering this is meant to be an Introduction to British Sign Language, I felt the course provided plenty of signs. As a SEND educator I feel this has been invaluable to learn and I am delighted to have this as part of my skill set. Thank you for making this so accessible. Well worth it!Rachael - 28 June 2020A great introduction to an amazing skill!
The online course was great: you could access it at any time, re-visit anything you want to revise and see yourself as you signed to make sure you were doing it right. The assessments were painless and gave a good indication as to when you were confident/ ready to move on. All of the topics were very relevant to anyone who wishes to use sign language and there were great links included to extra resources.Chloe Copeland - 27 June 2020Great Introduction to BSL
I would definitely recommend this course. The instructions are so clear and the course is delivered at a great pace to allow you plenty time to go over each subject. I especially liked the option to slow down the videos so I could really study the more difficult signs. A great use of time in lockdown!Amy - 27 June 2020Excellent course
What a great course. I've loved it working through it, being able to go at my own pace, and repeat sections if I need to.Hopefully I can remember the hundreds of signs learnt.
Rachel Myers - 26 June 2020Amazing Course!
What a productive way to spend my quarantine! I have always waned to learn a little sign language, but just never got around to it until now. I'm so glad I did this course. the videos are easy to follow and very informative. Well worth the time.Ella Harding - 26 June 2020Always wanted to learn!
I have really valued this course. I've always wanted to learn BSL. We use some makaton and couple of signs at home for my younger brother, but doing this course has given me more signs to teach him, and has really helped his vocabulary and speech come along. I have been learning during lockdown, weekly with friends over Skype, and we have loved being able to regularly meet and practice together. This has been a really invaluable kick-start for us to start learning, and we can't wait to learn more BSL! Thank you to all the team who have created this course.Amy - 25 June 2020Great introduction to BSL
This course has been so helpful in providing a basic introduction to BSL, and igniting a passion to learn more. I have now signed up for a face to face BSL L1 course locally which starts in September. I very much recommend this course for anyone wanting to begin their BSL journey.Catherine Szymanskyj - 23 June 2020Engaging and Informative
Cannot fault this course. It's so useful and I have had a great time learning the content. It's taught and tested in a way that you can follow easily, and it's good to learn at your own pace. The final assessment itself actually shows how far you've come!Selina Ellis - 23 June 2020Wonderful Course, Great Skill to Learn
I had great fun completing this course during the lockdown period. It's perfect for working at your own pace, the course is very comprehensive whilst also feeling easy to understand and not overwhelming. Would REALLY recommend!!C McCarthy - 23 June 2020Would highly recommend this course to anyone who is thinking of starting BSL. With easy to use visual guides supported with a description most of the time, its easy to learn and revise.
George Hudson - 22 June 2020Great Course
I really enjoyed this course. I found it very varied with a lot of really useful vocabulary. Very user-friendly and loved that i could access it when it was convenient for me.Belinda Mahoney - 21 June 2020Great Course
This is an amazing course, the content is great and the teaching is very good. I recommend it!Charlotte - 21 June 2020Great lockdown learning!
Completed the course with my 6 year old and 11 year old during our homeschooling in lockdown. My 6 year old loved the quizzes at the end of each subject to reinforce her learning. My 11 year old answered all of the final assessment questions by herself and got 100% so the programme definitely works!Hannah - 19 June 2020Completed the Introduction Course
I completed the Introduction course while in lockdown. I found it extremely informative, easy to learn with the help of the slides and they gave me the necessary information to continue my learning.Jonathan Meehan - 19 June 2020Simple and effective
Really simple but effective format. Broken down into manageable chunks. Great to include medical section as I work in healthcare. Highly recommend.Lucy - 18 June 2020Great Course!
Really amazing course, I have thoroughly enjoyed working through this during lockdown and feel I have been able to use this time wisely. The course is so flexible I could fit it around working at home. It has been a great form of CPD and I have always wanted to learn more about BSL, this course was brilliant for that. I would love to be able to incorporate BSL into lessons. I would definitely recommend this course to others!Hannah Miles - 18 June 2020
