Questions and answers
What if I am not self funding and my employer/other will be paying for the course for me?
No problem. Please contact me to discuss this further and make the payment arrangements.
What if I am not confident with technology?
Don’t worry, I am an IT whizz! I will support you and make sure that you are able to join in. I have supported students from young age to adults with joining my class so you won’t be left behind.
Am I too old (or too young) to learn?
No! I have taught students in their late 70s. However if you are under 18, an appropriate adult will need to accompany you in your lessons (they do not need to participate but must be in the room with you).
What if I have a query /concern. How do I communicate with the teacher/tutor?
If you have any concerns/worries with the course, please contact me immediately via email or Whatsapp (during working hours only). I am then able to correspond with you via written English and alleviate any concerns or issues. If there is a communication barrier, I have an Access To Work interpreter who can provide communication support.
Can you make reasonable adjustments if I am neurodivergent/dyslexic or have access needs?
All of my teaching locations have wheelchair access, accessible parking and toilets. I am passionate about ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to learn and so I endeavour to make sure the learning environment is accessible and suitable for all.
If you have a dyslexia assessment (or any other evidence) in place, then I will need to send copies of this to Signature so that they can be made aware when marking your work. You will be given extra time in all exams. You must have some form of evidence (e.g. medical assessment, doctor etc) that can be used.
What happens next when I pass BSL Level 3?
Completion of the Level Three Certificate in British Sign Language (Accredited by Signature) means you can confidently enrol onto the Level Four or Six Certificate in British Sign Language.
