Auslan is our passion and our goal is to provide everyone
with the opportunity to learn Auslan
The Auslan Company is proud to present this Auslan Level 1 Online course. The course is comprised of 27 videos, 500+ signs across 19 categories, and over 80 set sentences to practice with. At the end of the course there is two part assessment for us assess your expressive and receptive signing skills before we can provide you with your level 1 certificate.
The online course aims to be fun and to create opportunities for people to develop, renew or update their Auslan skills. You will learn basic information about Auslan grammar and the importance of facial expressions and body language in Auslan.
Once you've enrolled into the course you will have access to all the videos 24/7. There are no restrictions on how many times you can replay a video nor is there a time limit on you having to complete the course.
As a special gift for those that complete the course, when you email us your final assessment you will also receive a link to our library of Auslan songs, nursery rhymes, and stories.
There is a comment section after each lecture where you can ask myself or the school community questions about signs or information you are unsure about. I hope you enjoy learning Auslan in this online course and thank you for your interest in Auslan and the Deaf community.
