Access to Signing Classes

 

There is no one rule for gaining access to a signing class. Each area of the country has its own unique system! Costs also vary according to who is running the course.

The only way to find out about local provisions and the system in your area is to ask.

Classes may take place in any of the following places :-

  • Local college of FE
  • Local deaf club/centre
  • Local school for deaf children
  • Local resource base/centre for the deaf children
  • Local community centre

We would suggest you try contacting the following people in the order below:-

  • Local centre for deaf people
  • Local college of FE
  • Local Education Authority Service for deaf children
  • Local school/resource base for deaf children

The contact details for the above should be available by searching on the internet.

If you have no success with any of the above then try contacting one of the national associations :-
