About this project
This project trained members of the deaf community to become Irish Sign Language tutors (ISL).
The training course had a very positive impact. It allowed members of the deaf community to gain meaningful employment and more tutors are now available locally.
Learners found this Train the Trainer course to be a wonderful opportunity. They are really looking forward to attending more training in future.
