Our SQA Level 1 BSL course will help develop your confidence in communicating in BSL as well as learning further about deaf culture.

Course content

Please note if you have prior experience in using BSL, you may be able to fast track to level 1, once completing and passing a free skills test. Please contact us for more information.
Our courses are all taught by qualified deaf tutors, so you’ll be learning from people who use BSL as their native language. As Deaf Action is a charity, when you book your BSL course through us, the income is reinvested back into improving services for deaf people.
