Rinkoo

“Thank you for the BSL Level 6 you arranged, and to especially thank you for sending Alan Murray to be our leading instructor. He did his a very helpful attitude, and was more aware of my needed. I appreciate the time he took to work samples of my study in advance so his comments were immediately applicable. BSL First always find a way to get it done – and done well! Thank you.”

Iona

"I feel that finding this course and being with other CODAs was fate for me. I have wanted to do a course like this for a while, but being in a group with the people I am with now is better than I had imagined. With great tutors and leadership along the way, I look forward to what the future brings!"

Kerri

Being with BSLFirst has probably been THE Best learning experience I've had. I've met many wonderful people, there has been so much support and never been more comfortable in a learning environment, either classroom based or online (blended). Would do it all over again!"

Sophie
