Introduction to British Sign Language (BSL)

Our first ever British Sign language online course! Aimed at families, carers and professionals working with and supporting young deaf children to ensure they have a successful inclusion in a deaf friendly school.

By the end of this course you will have learnt 60 every day signs, short sentences in BSL and conversational skills. There is also a section on fingerspelling, signed nursery rhymes, tips and a story signed in BSL.

For further support around what it is like to be deaf and how deafness can impact on listening, spoken and communication skills, as well as social development, find our Language and Listening in the EYFS online course here.

Once you have completed this course, you will have the opportunity to demonstrate your skills by taking part in an online video assessment with our advisory deaf inclusion Worker.
