Level 3 Course – 2018. Every session was a joy! The other students on the course were supportive and Our tutor Janice gave us constructive feedback at every opportunity to help our skills improve.

The course content was excellent, as were the quality of the materials provided. I would defiantly study at the Centre again.

BSL NVQ level 6

Janice and Ellie both do a great job. I have regularly spoken to my family and partner about the quality of the teaching and how much I have gained from the course so far; it is so different to the courses I have done before (in a good way!).

They are there for us and provide much motivation, encouragement and positive feedback; again something I’ve not really experienced before on my BSL journey! It was valuable to sit and speak with Ellie about my portfolio and what steps I needed to take to finalise it as well as answering further questions when I had them. You can really see their passion for teaching and nurturing good quality interpreters of the future which is motivating in itself.

Hello! My name is Erin.

I was one of the participants on the foundation BSL course from the 7th of October – 4th of November and I would like to give you positive and honest feedback.

I can say when the course started all the staff at the Fylde Coast BSL Center were all very welcoming and friendly. Myself and the other participants got to introduce ourselves and got to know each other which was really good.

The tutor was really lovely and welcoming and had handout sheets with signs on for the participants to read and practice at home which was really helpful and useful. Also the tutor was really understanding as the majority of participants it was their first time learning BSL and helped go over signs slowly and calmly which was fantastic to see. Nothing was rush or done in such a hurry it was a friendly , calming environment where people got to socialise and learn BSL.

I think the length of the course five weeks and the time of sessions is brilliant as a foundation course. I couldn’t fault anything. It was nice for all of us to graduate the foundation course and build on gaining BSL qualifications in the future. I hope I was able to give you honest and positive feedback. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn BSL to help and communicate with deaf people.
