    It's embarrassing seeing people overlook this great course and only caring about whether student discounts can be achieved.

    You need to be with people or at least a person to learn BSL properly, it isn't a language that lends itself to distance learning. I've taught BSL level one and two and know people that tried this way. Also the certificate isn't worth the paper it's printed on. (edited)

Define "properly".All you have done with your post is to deter people from learning, which was presumably not your aim. Unless you are worried people learning online means less money for you if you still teach it or intend to do so again in future.


    Wow! No I can't be bothered to define properly to you. Do some research yourself if you're that bothered which I doubt you really are.

    Big jump to suggest I'm deterring people from learning, just suggesting that from experience, distance learning a visual language doesn't equip a person to converse compared to a person that has had face to face learning.

    Nope I don't teach anymore so not earning anything from promoting classes.

    You should take up the course then when you have your 'qualification' I will happily take you to a deaf club and watch you try and communicate effectively.

    There's plenty of level 1 BSL courses around the country, should be one near you. Only go for Signature approved courses if you want the qualification to mean anything going for a job though.

    Yeah, I was going to say the same about the cert. All these cheap online courses with a cert, the cert is just junk from a nobody institute... and you usually have to pay extra to get the cert.

I would never have to time or want to be totally honest to do the full course at uni/elsewhere so is this worth doing as even a rough guide towards BSL?


    You're better off doing a Signature level 1 course, this course qualification is worth nothing vocationally. You can do a deaf awareness course which will include some BSL, that takes a lot less time.
  12. ROCHJA's avatar
    Cheap as this course is it still costs more than £1 per hour - and I don't know of any language you can expect to master in under 10 hours

    Only IF when going 'direct' you use this code: ONE10FEB instead?.

    Otherwise the OP's one will rather prove to be a tad bit cheaper instead ...

    The OneEducation £10.99 code I've previously mentioned twice above already (eg. code: ONE10FEB), is only valid until 28th February 2019, until 23:59pm).

    And it's site wide as well!! (so NOT just for the Sign Language course/courses alone ... )

    So fill your boot's, yes, but use it wisely.

    Enjoy your Day everyone.
