Further BSL courses after the basic online course

[almac]

Hi I haven't quite completed the online course yet but really enjoying it. I think I'll go over the material a few more times once I've finished to consolidate my learning but what further courses are recommended to follow on from this? How do I progress and learn more/practice? I'm also thinking to start watching films etc with sign and try and follow but I think it might be a bit too early for that! Many thanks 🙏🏽
