British Sign Language Level 1 Training

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 and 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 in January and is planned for Wednesday Afternoons 15:00 until 18:00 and will be taking place at Sandwell Education Centre. The course runs for 22 weeks.
