BSL First is the best choice. It met my needs as online at the time, would’ve preferred in person but the experience was paramount for present work. Now having completed online lessons they were just as good, honestly learned more during the time frame. I cannot sing BSL First’s praises anymore than I do when asked. The organisational side is excellent!! This helps 100% as the schedule is so well laid out you cannot go wrong. Feedback is honest, fair and beneficial. Thank you BSL First for giving me insight into me and how to improve my way of working.
I had a great experience with this online course!
Being able to take it remotely was super convenient. Andrew was an outstanding teacher throughout. He was always available to answer questions and offered clear, supportive guidance every step of the way. I felt supported and well-prepared for any assessments or exams I had coming up. Highly recommend!
I had a great experience with a friendly, patient tutor. Valuable information with clear instruction. I would rcommend anyone to enrol in BSL first.
