Our BSL courses are led by qualified deaf BSL tutors with a wealth of experience teaching BSL and Deaf Awareness. We also have a number of volunteers who support in the weekly classes who are happy to help support you on your BSL learning journey!

The assessments for accreditation by the Awarding Body Signature are optional. Some students wish to enrol onto a BSL course without the pressure of assessments which is fine. To gain the qualifications, candidates must sit and pass three module assessments. All assessments are carried out at our venue with your BSL teacher. We do lots of practice before your assessments are booked and we work with the students to ensure they feel confident before taking their exams.

We offer levels 1 to 3 in British Sign Language and are accredited by Signature.

Our Level 1 to 3 BSL courses are face-to-face which is the preferable way to learn BSL. We can offer online BSL tutoring on request. Please get in touch to discuss your needs. Contact: hello@famlingo.co.uk
