The course content is designed to be taken at your own pace, where you have 12 months access in order to complete it.

We recommend starting with the Everyday Essential British Sign Language (L1) which will hold you by the hand and take you through step by step so you can build up your confidence and conversational skills in BSL.
Once you have these foundations in place then we recommend to add on BSL Storytelling of Real Life Situations (L1). This will extend your knowledge about more grammatical elements of BSL, using our 4 part picture sequence stories as a prompt.
