Choose a beginner class

SADeaf’s beginner course lists Level One with DCCL, its compulsory first session on Deaf community, culture and language. The listed in-person format runs once a week and the online format twice a week. Both total 26 hours. Check the venue or online format for your intake and wait for registration confirmation before making plans. ExtraOrdinary Horizons starts its beginner pathway with SgSL 101. Its courses page links to the individual class details.

Choose by what you need

Choose a Singapore Sign Language learning pathway and prior level rather than treating sign systems as interchangeable. SADeaf publishes four SgSL levels with classroom/role-play learning. ExtraOrdinary Horizons publishes beginner 101-103, intermediate 201-203 and advanced 301-302 courses, plus customised workshops and private-track enquiries. Its beginner pathway is 64 hours in total, with listed S$250-S$350 per person for each level; that is not one flat fee for all levels. Confirm current intake, minimum class size, age, attendance, assessment and refund terms. Completion is not assumed to qualify someone as an interpreter.
