Ofsted Report
Leicestershire Adult Learning Service had a full Ofsted inspection in May 2015 with a short inspection in March 2018 where we were rated “Good” on both occasions.
This course will demonstrate how people consciously and unconsciously signal their attitudes, desires and feelings through their body language.
An introduction to the British Sign Language and how it can be applied effectively to communicate with those living with deafness and hearing loss.
Imperial students and staff, as well as members of the public, can now learn British Sign Language as part of the Lunchtime Learning programme.
The course, led by tutor John Carberry MBE was very engaging and insightful. The students learnt about the deaf community and some of the struggles they experience.
These courses are designed to start from an absolute beginner and will teach learners to communicate with deaf people on a range of general topics. You will be taught by a professional Deaf Tutor in a friendly and supportive environment.
