British Sign Language (BSL) is a language in its own right, with its own grammar and structure that is different to English.
At BSL NOW! we offer courses in BSL Levels 1 - 6 (Level 6 certificate only). Students can learn in a friendly, relaxed environment, having fun whilst learning a valuable new skill. Courses can be class based or 1:1 and can be delivered either in person or through remote learning.
Whichever route you choose we guarantee that starting a course with us will open your eyes to a whole new visual experience that will give you a greater understanding of deaf life and culture that we're sure you will want to learn more about.
Gaining these new skills can also lead to new friendships being developed and even new career opportunities opening up!
All of our exams are accredited by Signature, the leading provider of British Sign Language qualifications in the UK. Exam costs are included within the course fees.
If you would prefer not to take the exam at the end of the course this can easily be arranged. This may be more suitable for students who require refresher courses or are simply studying for their own enjoyment or interest. For a small fee BSL NOW! will provide a certificate to show that the course has been completed. The cost of the course will reflect the fact that the exam fee is not included.
Student Feedback
I've really enjoyed learning BSL, it feels like a real achievement, going from nothing to being able to have a basic conversation over the course of the Level 1. It's been great to learn about Deaf culture too, and I'm really looking forward to starting on Level 2 in the autumn!
