This is the first step into learning the amazing visual language of British Sign Language and an excellent opportunity to test whether you want to continue your journey to gain formal qualifications with reduced financial impact. This will give you a CPD-approved certificate in BSL.
Deaf awareness is a vital part of communicating with deaf people. The deaf community is a beautiful thing with an amazing culture and background, and being deaf aware will help you to improve your BSL skills.
Our BSL 1:1 tutoring is a great alternative for those who can’t attend our courses. This will start with a free 10-minute consultation with your teacher, where you can discuss where you’d like to go with the training, wether it be a qualification or learning the basics of British Sign Language.
Level 1 in British Sign Language is the first formal Signature-approved qualification in BSL and will build on the knowledge you have developed from your Introduction to BSL course. By the end of this 18-week course, you will be able to hold basic conversations with BSL users and have a basis to continue your learning.
Our Level 2 in British Sign Language is the next after completing your level 1 qualification successfully. Over a 25-week course, you will increase the complexity of conversations that can be held, build your confidence and have a stronger understanding of BSL structure, grammar and syntax.
Our Level 3 in British Sign Language is where you develop real fluency within British Sign Language, further increase your vocabulary and hold more complex conversations. At this stage, you can also adapt the language at a higher level and will learn more in-depth about the structure, grammar, and syntax of British Sign Language.
Our Level 4 in British Sign Language is where you develop a deeper fluency within British Sign Language, further increase your vocabulary, and hold more complex conversations. At this stage, you will be communicating at a higher level and will continue to learn the structure, syntax, and grammar of British Sign Language.
Our Level 6 in British Sign Language is the last formal British Sign Language. At this stage, you will become fluent in the language. This is a great step towards teaching British Sign Language or becoming an interpreter.

“Doing BSL is super fun, and you can learn a lot within the first few weeks. When I first started doing the BSL courses, I knew it would be fun, considering what I was told we were going to learn.
My teacher, Sharon, is nice, kind and makes learning fun!”
