Where to go after receiving CPD Certification from british-sign.co.uk course

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 ❤️

      So far, I am really enjoying my BSL journey. I think that it is something I would’ve never done and I’m glad I’m pushing myself to do it. I think it’s great and everyone should have a go and take a chance and start to learn it because you never know when it will come in Handy

      Hello, my name is ellie and I started learning BSL because I think it is important as an inspired aspiring teacher to be able to help the ability to educate all pupils with all different abilities. BSL has really helped me and made it easy to understand.

      My BSL journey

      By Becage4 · Posted

      I used to work in an SEMH children's home, 5 years ago, and I began to learn BSL alongside some of those young people. I then saw a BSL evening course at my local high school and took part in that, we did an introduction, then all nagged the tutor so much, she agreed to do Level 1! We got 2 weeks in when covid lockdown struck and the course, like everything else, was cancelled. 2 years ago I got together with my partner, who has hearing loss, which is progressing. We decided it would be a good idea to learn BSL now, while she can still hear a bit, so we are prepared. 2 of my adult children and their partners are learning alongside us. We post question and answer videos on our family WhatsApp to practice, our current quest is to see who can sign the most unlikely occupation and place to live! My partner already finds it very difficult to make out what people are saying in busy or noisy spaces, so the few signs we have learnt together, along with fingerspelling, have already been very helpful and we can all see how much this new skill will benefit all of us.

      Introducing myself

      Hi,  My name is Chloe, I work in a SEND school within Norfolk. Whilst at this provision we had a non-verbal student join us, whilst he does not use BSL or Makaton to communicate it got me thinking that the chances of us having a pupil that does is incredibly high and unfortunately it is not part of our mandatory training therefore I asked if I could sign up for BSL training as part of my CPD and our company agreed, I then had 20 colleagues ask to join as well.

      I joined a BSL Society today!

      By skimbleshanks22 · Posted

      Hi there👋 I just thought I'd drop in and mention that I joined a BSL Society that takes place in my university today. I came along to the drop in session and despite being quite nervous, I learned a thing or two and made a few friends. I recognised a lot of the beginner signing from the british-sign.co.uk course (level 1) I've been practicing.  A funny small difference I noticed was the regional dialect - being in Scotland there's a few minor differences in how to sign place names, etc than in England. It's been so fun and interesting to learn about!
