Description

Sign language is a beautiful and expressive way to communicate with deaf people and show them that you care about their needs and feelings. It is not just a simple system of hand movements, but a full-fledged language with its own rules and patterns.

With our British Sign Language Level 1 & 2 course, you will learn how to use BSL effectively in different contexts and scenarios. You will start with the basic signs for the letters, numbers, colours, and animals. Then, you will move on to more complex topics such as sentence formation and question types in BSL. You will also gain insight into the culture and history of the deaf community in the UK.

This course is perfect for anyone who wants to learn BSL. It's especially helpful if you work with children who have hearing loss or other special needs, or if you aspire to do so. By learning BSL, you will be able to communicate with them more smoothly and help them grow and thrive. 

Enrol now and start your journey toward becoming a skilled and confident BSL user and a friend of the deaf community.
