Raising Standards of Deaf Awareness in Sports Clubs & Associations across the UK
Did you know that there are 12 million people across the UK with some form of hearing loss?
That means that there will be D/deaf and Hard of Hearing members of the public who may lipread and who may use British sign Language (BSL) as their first language accessing your facilities on a regular basis.
How many of those active club members of sports clubs and associations leave having had a positive experience with you?
Our aim with our Signature accredited BSL Frontline Staff courses is to allow easy interaction with all staff from the front desk to the café staff, personal trainers, coaches and housekeeping.
You’ll have access to our expertise and we will work closely with you in order to help your business operations become as diverse as possible.
We offer a range of Signature accredited BSL courses across multiple sectors that can be customised to your needs.

Why train your Frontline Staff to service your D/deaf/Hard of Hearing Customers and visitors?
If you run a Sports Club or Leisure facility then you might be interested to know that 1 in 3 of your potential visitors and patients will be D/deaf or Hard of Hearing and may be trying to lipread you.
Miscommunication is all too prevalent within service based settings for D/deaf and Hard of Hearing people. This then leads to mistrust of the services you provide and at worst, can cause unnecessary confusion and embarrassment for D/deaf people which could so easily be avoided with appropriate Deaf Awareness training. With the wearing of face masks during the pandemic, this situation has worsened significantly for people who lipread to communicate and understand what is being said around them and British Sign Language has become more inclusive way of communicating.
Why choose Signature approved courses?
The learner is at the heart of all we do here at Study Sharpe.
All learners undertaking a Signature qualification with us will be guaranteeing they will not only receive teaching expertise that is endorsed by Signature, but they will also gain a qualification that will be recognised by employers and industries alike.
Last but by no means least and perhaps the most important reason for undertaking Signature qualifications with us, is that you will be able to join the growing number of people in the UK who can communicate with a D/deaf BSL user. Through our courses, you will become more Deaf Aware in the process, understand more about the Deaf Community and their rich heritage and Culture, thereby raising awareness to other people and sharing the benefits to all of learning BSL.
