BSL Classroom Courses

Our classroom courses are for learners who prefer the traditional way of learning. The classes are held weekly in a group of 12 students or less. You have focussed tutor time each week. Your tutor will guide you through the Ofqual regulated curriculum so you are ready to take assessments at the end of your course.

*All courses will be adjusted in line with Covid 19 guidelines so may need to be taught online if face to face teaching is prohibited. Please note that exam fees are included in the course fees and are non-refundable should you decide not to go ahead with the exams.
