Pass a British Sign Language Level 1 qualification
A friend has invited you to do this with them.
BSL is a full language with its own grammar, and learning it opens conversations with people you could not otherwise talk to. Signature qualifications are nationally recognised, so Level 1 gives you a clear, assessed goal to aim at.

Where to go
We opened this link on 6 October 2026 and found it to be what we say. Dates, places and prices are on the official page, where they stay up to date.
Plan this
Pick a day, or a month, and we will set out how to get ready, step by step, with a date and a reason for each. Courses and classes have start dates and can fill up, so the plan begins with finding and booking one. Kit comes after the first session, once you know what you need.
