iBSL is an UK awarding organisation accredited by Ofqual. We provide a range of qualifications in British Sign Language (BSL) and Deaf Studies that meet the needs of learners of all ages and abilities.
Why iBSL
As a Deaf-led awarding organisation, we understand better what Deaf people want and that is an advantage for choosing us. To teach our qualifications, you need to be trained and approved.

Learning the basics of BSL should be interesting and fun, but if you are serious about the language, you can go on and obtain higher qualifications – perhaps for work, or perhaps you have a Deaf family.

Why Learn British Sign Language?

British Sign Language (BSL) is one of Britain’s approved languages and is used by around 125,000 people using it on a daily basis, whether at home in family units or at work.
Learning the basics of BSL should be interesting and fun, but if you are serious about the language, you can go on and obtain higher qualifications – perhaps for work, or perhaps you have a Deaf family. This often needs dedication, but can be very rewarding.
