Course Aim

This course is designed to enable learners to use basic language skills to communicate with Deaf people using British Sign Language (BSL) in a range of everyday situations. 

Course Objectives

At the end of the qualification, learners will be able to:
  • Use and build upon vocabulary and grammatical features
  • Communicate with Deaf people at a basic level about everyday life.
  • Have a short conversation on a given topic.

Qualification Structure

No previous knowledge is required for this course, as this is the first level of sign language, and, on completion, will allow the student to conduct a basic conversation with a Deaf person. A limited number of students will be accepted onto the course to allow quality tutoring to all students.


You can expect weekly assignments to supplement the course and re-enforce what you have learned in the session.


The Signature BSL Level 1 has 3 assessments and is included in the cost. However, you must achieve these modules on your own merits, as attendance on the course does not automatically get you the qualification.


Students are requested to bring proof of any D/deaf, DeafBlind or Disability courses they have attended.


Homework will be issued to reinforce learning in the "non-contact" hours.


Application Process:


To apply, please contact us


Any sessions cancelled by the centre will result in additional dates being arranged at no extra charge


On completion, the student will be able to carry on to the Level 2 in Sign Language.


Please note: The information provided on the registration form will be used to register you for the Signature assessments, contact you and to send your qualification certificate via post once achieved. We will follow GDPR rules and destroy information given 6 months after you leave the centre.
