We are now offering two British Sign Language (BSL) courses: Level 1 and Level 2. Each course runs for approximately 30 weeks, providing the opportunity either to learn the basics of British Sign Language or to build on your existing knowledge.

Throughout the course, you will learn key communication skills, including how to introduce yourself, greet others in BSL, use fingerspelling for people and places, and sign numbers relating to people, time, money, and dates. Level 2 is designed for learners who already have some knowledge of BSL and wish to develop their skills further.

To achieve the final assessment successfully, you will need to commit to attending each lesson, as regular participation is essential for developing the required skills.

Places on these courses are limited. To express your interest, please contact adultlearning@eastcoast.ac.uk.

You will study the foundations of British Sign Language (BSL), developing practical communication skills for everyday situations. The course covers introducing yourself, greeting others, fingerspelling names and places, and using numbers related to people, time, money, and dates. Level 1 will introduce the basics of BSL, while Level 2 will build on your existing knowledge by expanding your vocabulary, improving your signing skills, and increasing your confidence in communicating with others.
