The course covered basic subjects including the alphabet, colours, transport and numbers amongst others. Our tutor was Steve who had us fully engaged from the first minute we sat down until the last minute he left. Not only did he teach us to sign, he made it fun.Thank you for your patience Steve it can’t have been easy 🤣.Claire johnsonClaire johnson ★★★★★ Just completed BSL 101 course with MeSign, fantastic course with the very best tutor -Steve, warm, friendly, patient & professional, we had the best time learning, you’ve given us such a valuable tool that I’ll proudly use at work & in my life forever. MeSign were fantastic & organised the course around our work structure & in a time scale that fit us perfectly. As a learning group from a hotel (The Wainstones Hotel Great Broughton) Steve tailored the sessions around what we would use in our daily work life as well as general knowledge & alphabet. If you’re thinking about doing BSL don’t hesitate to use this company they are the best. 10/10!Mookaite JasperMookaite Jasper ★★★★★ Such a positive experience with MeSign. Steve is a great teacher and it feels like everyone in the organisation really cares. Thank you 🙏🏼Yvonne MackYvonne Mack ★★★★★ Just finished level 1. Fabulous learning experience and BSL is something that I have wanted to learn for many years. Staff that I dealt with were all very friendly and made sure that nerves were kept at bay during the 3 exams. Would recommend to anyone wanting to learn BSL. I have now enrolled for level 2.Ashlee PhillipsAshlee Phillips ★★★★★ MeSign offer first class training in British Sign Language. I have been on the course a while now and would recommend them to anyone wanting to learn BSL. I have gained vital knowledge and understanding not only of BSL but also the Deaf community and how to communicate with Deaf people in the correct way. They only use Deaf teachers, and I feel this is so important when learning a language, to learn from a native Deaf person. It has given me confidence when speaking with a Deaf person, and allowed me to experience a whole new approach to learning. I can't wait to continue my studies with MeSign and continue to learn more about BSL. Thankyou for everything. AshleeResponse from the ownerThank you - makes our job easy when we have great students :) Sandra TeasdaleSandra Teasdale ★★★★★ Love there ❤️ very professional 🫶🏼Victoria SharpVictoria Sharp ★★★★★ Mesign is an amazing place to study BSL. All the staff go above and beyond. Can’t recommend them enough.Michael EastwoodMichael Eastwood ★★★★★ Андрей ТиманиАндрей Тимани ★★★★★ Wanted to share my story. Less than a year ago I came to the UK from Ukraine. I understood that without knowing the language it would be difficult both with communication and with employment. I am happy that I had the opportunity to study with MeSign courses. I enjoyed attending the classes, which were interesting, in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Thanks to the professionalism, competence of the teachers, their experience and patience, in just a month I was able to communicate with the British in sign language. I made many friends and acquaintances, I was not afraid to travel around England, getting acquainted with its culture, history and nature. I recently passed BSL Level 1 and am looking forward to starting MeSing Level 2. Now I feel confident in communication and, very importantly, the courses have given me the opportunity to get a job. I am very grateful for this to my teachers, who were my mentors, helped me in everything and supported me. I can always turn to them for help and advice. Many thanks to them for everything!Rachel AustinRachel Austin ★★★★★ Fantastic place to learn British Sign LanguageResponse from the ownerThank you - makes our job easy when we have great students :) James ParkerJames Parker ★★★★★ Amazing.

Michelle @ MeSign Jackie BarrettJackie Barrett ★★★★★ I have attended Mesign for about 4 years to study levels 1 2 and 3 BSL. Their teaching staff is amazing, whom have an amazing person centred approach. I have a medical condition which affects my everyday life including learning/processing information. To assist me with this, they have helped me find a tackle exam pressures and adjusted the environment to help stabilise any possible 'triggers' which could occur. The learning atmosphere is always relaxed and I think its fair to say that everyone enjoys learning and their progress is shown in their excellent signing skills.Response from the ownerThank you - makes our job easy when we have great students :) Sarah OakleySarah Oakley ★★★★★ Mesign are a fabulous company who teach BSL to anyone willing to learn. From level 1 up to level 3 I have enjoyed every minute of the courses offered. The staff who are there to help you every step of the way, are welcoming and extremely friendly. I have met lots of lovely people through mesign and would recommend them to anyone with interests of learning a new language. BSL opening many doors and lifting many barriers.Response from the ownerThank you - makes our job easy when we have great students :) js_loader
