British Sign Language Level 1 Training

January 9, 2019

As an organisation we are committed to both staff training and improving our patient experience, as such we are commissioning a Signature Level 1 Award in British Sign Language.

This is a fully accredited course, designed to teach learners to communicate with deaf people in British Sign Language (BSL) on a range of topics that involve simple, everyday language use. They will gain basic skills and confidence in production and reception of BSL.

The qualification is divided into three units:

  • Introduction to BSL
  • Conversational BSL
  • Communicate in BSL about Everyday Life.

To achieve the full Level 1 Award in British Sign Language, candidates must pass all 3 units.

The course is scheduled to start this month and is planned for Wednesday afternoons 3pm-6pm and will be taking place at Sandwell Education Centre.
