This course was a godsend, having very few funds to speak of and this course offering the option to 'pay what you can' during covid meant everything. Myself and my Mum both registered for the course (my mum actually paid more than the recommended amount for both of us) but anyway, my question is where can i go from here? I notice the levels of certification and that the certificaiton of this course doesn't mention a level - so I assume i'm not any level!

I have a deaf nephew, who has cochlear implants from the age of 1 but hated his hearing henry band, and has hated the implants and attachments every since - so we know BSL to be his first language. He's at an age where he's beginning to sign for things, but learing a language is difficult and i'd like to be ready to hear, understand and communicate properly with him when he's able to.  before that point, being able to teach him signs and furthering his education is also something that i'm eager to be able to do.

As i said, money is tight, as it is with most people are the moment so i was wondering if there were any more CPD certified courses that will allow me to learn at my pace, learn remotely and complete assessments remotely with very little cost. 

 

Any help appreciated

Hey Turtz, I'm really sorry but I can't offer any advice myself as I'm still trying the course you've completed, Hopefully the government starts working on other ways to help out d/Deaf people in a society like ours. I find exclusion in groups to be a big problem personally. I hope everything goes ok for you and family, hopes are with you ❤️

      Always wanted to learn but now I have to!

      By Flurgle · Posted

      I've always wanted to learn BSL and even got the course as a Christmas present one year but I'm not great at sticking to things and life got in the way. However, a month or two ago my husband lost his hearing overnight and we suddenly found ourselves in a position where we could only communicate by writing everything down. Without technology and voice recognition apps I would have writer's cramp constantly. He is getting better at lip reading but as I have lost a few front teeth so he struggles

      Hello my name is Sue and reason I wanted to learn BSL is I have a new job as passenger assistance for a group of Primary schoolchildren who I escort to school and return home at the end of the day, and the school specialise in deafness, and are taught BSL.  Mo

      Hello!

      By Vicky97 · Posted

      Hi, I'm learning BSL at home as I think its important to be able to communicate with anyone I meet in my job in retail. I haven't had a chance to use any of my signs yet but am practising/revising them regularly so I don't forget! I really enjoyed watching the recent Channel 4 Paralympic coverage with BSL as it gave me a chance to practice watching a fast signer. Bye x

      I’m Shiona. I’m currently on my BSL learning journey for the second time. I started a few years ago but life and a baby happened and I stopped my learning.    I currently don’t have use for BSL in the sense that I don’t know or generally meet anyone in which I would need to use it, but I feel that should that time ever come it’s only right that I’m prepared. It something I wish would have been mandatory when I was back in school.    I’m always open to making new friends, a lot of m

      Hello, my name is Zonya and I have been learning BSL for a couple of months now.  I am not deaf but work at a doctors surgery where we have very few deaf/Deaf patients but find it sad that there are so few non deaf./Deaf people that know BSL. I feel this should be a compulsory lesson at least once per week in all schools. I hope everyone is well.
