Really informative and a good level of interactivity

The content was clear and the quizzes were relevant and useful. The lip reading sections were especially excellent in illustrating the challenges faced and encouraging real reflection on this. Thank you.

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.
