Amazing course
This course has been such an excellent way to learn some British Sign Language. It is so clearly laid out and detailed with assessments at the end of each module to consolidate your learning. As a music teacher and musician, it has encouraged me to go on to learn how to sign songs. I am so thankful for this course!Hannah - 12 August 2020SO USEFUL- HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
This course has been so helpful, and it absolutely perfect for beginners. I hope I can now put this into action and continue to improve my signing!!Madeleine Nichols - 09 August 2020Relevant and easy to follow
I enrolled on this course as I thought learning the basics of sign language would be a good use of my spare time during lockdown; I work with children including some with additional needs for whom this could be a useful form of coom. It was divided into strategic lesson that cover the basic everyday language you might need to get by in day to day life and also included some work/school vocabulary and medical vocabulary and specific additional useful wordsHannah - 05 August 2020Great Online Course

A very comprehensive and wide ranging course that was both challenging and enjoyable to complete. Would recommend it to anyone wishing to learn BSLFreda Stevens - 30 July 2020Enjoyable course
I had previously studied some BSL at University, however this was a great refresher and also introduced lots of signs I had not come across before. The structure of this course and the videos in each section are great - easy to follow and the assessments were a good summary after each topic. Would recommend this course to anyone and I would love for there to be a higher level course following this for those that are interested in continuing to learn.Emma - 29 July 2020Brilliant Sign Language Course
I have just finished "Introducing British Sign Language", and I have to say I found it very valuable. We will probably all meet someone who is deaf, so the least we can do is learn how to communicate with them. The way in which the course works is very engaging, and I found the fact that there was a test at the end of each lesson very useful, as it refreshes your memory. As well as this, you may or may not be surprised how many signs make sense in relation to their spoken English counterparts.Overall, I really enjoyed this BSL course, and found it really useful and interesting. I would very highly recommend this to anyone looking to study British Sign Language!
Liam Downing - 28 July 2020Introducing British Sign Language
I've always wanted to learn sign language and a lady at work with her daughters did a presentation on Sign Language and I was hooked. I signed up and did this course.Its amazing to learn the basics and the course was perfect to go at your own pace and fit round family life. Content was brilliant and covered all the basics.
I will definitely be looking to further my knowledge in an evening course.
Thanks BSL great course!!
