We welcome you to join our friendly and engaging introduction to British Sign Language course at Hayle Community Centre, Hayle. British Sign Language (BSL) is a language used by D/deaf people to communicate using hand shapes, facial expressions, lip patterns, gestures, and body language.
We promote a broad education offer with a commitment to inclusiveness, cultural enrichment, health and wellbeing, and equality which improves social justice and community engagement; alongside which we offer highly focused education and training for employability, enterprise and skills development.
Body language is a form of communication that can be used unconsciously. It’s a good idea to understand others’ – and your own – body language, in order to use it effectively.
British Sign Language course is offered by The University of Edinburgh Short Courses. Our courses are taught by highly qualified and experienced teachers who are extremely dedicated to ensuring you leave with all the necessary skills to broaden your horizons and never be lost for words again.
