Intro to BSL
Offers the local community access to the first module of the Level 1 British Sign Language (BSL) course throughout the year.
Whether you’re looking to communicate more effectively with the deaf community or gain a new skill, this course is the perfect starting point.
Why Learn BSL?
British Sign Language is the primary language of over 150,000 people in the UK, and it plays a vital role in making communication inclusive for the Deaf and hard of hearing.
BSL has its own grammar and syntax, distinct from spoken English, and learning it helps break down communication barriers, promotes inclusivity, and fosters a deeper understanding of Deaf culture.
By starting your journey with Phoenix Education Centre and SignSource, you’ll not only gain valuable communication skills but also contribute to creating a more inclusive society.
