Deaf education
At the nationally-recognised Centre for Deaf Education at City Lit we offer a wide range of courses for deaf adults as well as an exceptional programme of British Sign Language courses and professional training relating to work with deaf people. Courses are taught by a highly qualified team of professionals. We also provide access and support services to deaf students studying on courses at City Lit and elsewhere. Our annual Deaf Day is the biggest event of its kind in the UK and takes over the whole of the City Lit building. Every year thousands of people come to find out and exchange information, meet friends and generally have a great time. Click here to find out more information.
