Clear and easy to follow.

As I am someone who is just starting to learn BSL, I found this course really interesting and informative. I am really glad I took this course and would definitely recommend it to anybody who wishes to learn a bit about the language.

Very informative.

As a nurse by training, although now retired, I was surprised by how much I did not know. I do not recall ever receiving deaf awareness training. This was interesting and informative. Thank you.

Informative and so important

I had considered doing the Level 1 support without the deaf awareness. But i'm so glad I purchased deaf awareness too as it is so informative and easy to follow. It allows access to information from someone who has experienced deafness first hand and I believe it is important to have along side BSL so you know WHY you are signing.
