BSL & Deaf Awareness Training
Training & Education
We offer BSL and Deaf Awareness Training for Businesses, Non-profit, Education and Public/Community Groups.
Both our 6-week BSL Foundation Courses tailored to your specific needs, and 3-hour Deaf Awareness Workshops can help make your organisation or community more welcoming, accessible and and inclusive for the 135,000 deaf people who are living, working, studying and relaxing right next to you.
FREE Training Available!
If you are part of a non-profit or charitable organisation based in Bedford Borough, we are delighted to announce that funding from The Harpur Trust means we may be able to offer you and your team a FREE 3-hour Deaf Awareness Workhop. Contact info@accessbedford.org.uk for more information!

We support Deaf BSL users to train as BSL tutors to deliver Family BSL classes, Deaf Awareness Training and BSL Courses.
Our BSL courses, available to families, businesses, charities, schools, statutory organisations, and members of the public, bridge communication gaps and promote community understanding.
An extraordinary legacy gift donated to us by the late Josie Harris, means that we are able to offer a limited number of free places for deaf attendees to our public BSL courses and Level 1 Qualification courses. Please contact info@accessbedford.org.uk for details.
You can support us to train more deaf people to teach and to support more deaf people to learn BSL here:
