My name is Sonia Hollis and I’m a qualified Sign Language interpreter. Learn Sign Language Ltd was set up due to the huge demand for people wanting to learn sign language online.
Throughout the course there will be multiple choice questions to answer which tests your sign language receptive skills.
The course content is designed to be taken at your own pace, where you have 12 months access in order to complete it. However, as a guide, the content is designed similarly to a class based environment where you are taught 2 hours per week. This allows for pausing of videos and practising in between.
You will need to watch each whole video before you are able to mark it as complete, which then allows you to move onto the next video. There is a prompt button to guide you through and show when you can click on “complete lesson”.
If you have any questions, you are able to contact Sonia directly on sonia@learnsignlanguage.co.uk
