I have commissioned Marcel Hirshman to deliver our basic sign languages course for over 16 years. The courses he has delivered for us have always been well received and getting fantastic feedback. Participants quickly warmed warm to his friendly and engaging personality. He creates learning environments that are comfortable and fun – ideal for learning.

I booked Marcel to provide Deaf Awareness training for my organisation at Amazon. The training was a huge success, participants loved the training and commented on how entertaining Marcel was. Several were inspired to continue learning sign language. I personally was impressed by Marcel’s thoroughness – he developed the training specifically for the audience, taking into account my communication needs and role within the team and so on.

Marcel has been a fantastic teacher. When Mayfield School wanted to introduce BSL as an after-school activity for the girls, we contacted Marcel who came highly recommended by people who are active within the Deaf community. After a successful introduction to BSL, he has offered us a 20-week course to learn one Unit of the accredited Level 1 BSL course with Signature. The course has been such a success that we are continuing next year with both Units 2 and 3. He has provided a fun and relaxed environment, enabling our pupils to chat with Deaf people about everyday topics
Mayfield School
Working with Marcel is great, he’s incredibly professional and his work is always high quality and delivered promptly
Outside In
Marcel developed and ran half-day workshops with key business stakeholders to help eliminate any preconceptions and questions people may have about working with a Deaf person. The workshops were high energy, interactive, informative and useful for the teams. The feedback has been positive and we are now working with Marcel to develop further workshops and as well as BSL sign language courses.

Marcel provides an excellent, professional, quick and reliable translation service. We also highly recommend his BSL courses and Deaf Awareness training which he tailors to each organisation’s needs and particular area of work.

BSLBT
We have commissioned WealdBSL and Marcel to run both deaf awareness and BSL training (Introductory and Level 1 Refresher) for our London Theatre team. The training was excellent; relevant and tailored to suit the needs of the team and the organisation. Everyone who took part said how positive and useful the sessions were. We look forward to working with Marcel again soon.
“Marcel the trainer was absolutely excellent, clear, firm but really fun. It is such a positive experience and as well as help us individually to learn BSL it has helped the team work together and support each other. More please!” (Introduction to BSL participant, MAY 2022)
