British Sign Language Training

We offer a number of different British Sign Language classes, beginning with our Taster Sessions and Introduction to BSL courses which run throughout the year and progressing to our Signature accredited courses in BSL Level 1 to Level 3. We also offer courses for businesses and organisations and provide training both online and face-to-face.

All of our BSL tutors are profoundly deaf and are first language BSL users. We believe that training should be led by people with a lived experience of deafness, training others about their own culture and language.

Signature BSL Level 1, 2 & 3

If you’re looking for an accredited course to get a nationally recognised qualification, then these courses are for you.

We offer three levels of British Sign Language qualifications accredited by the exam body Signature. Running either in the daytime or evening, these classes are taught face-to-face and are held in the heart of the Deaf community in Nottingham.

These courses are aimed at individuals who would like to learn BSL because they work with, or aspire to work with, Deaf service users, have Deaf colleagues, friends or family, or simply wish to learn a new skill.

Using a variety of resources, teaching methods and activities, these qualifications will give learners the ability and confidence to communicate with Deaf people in a range of situations.

All our courses follow Signature’s qualification specification to ensure all course material is covered and we have a team of highly experienced tutors and support staff. Our results have been consistently above the national average, demonstrating that our tutors deliver the highest quality of teaching.
