Course aim

This course is designed to enable learners to develop their skills to communicate with Deaf people using British Sign Language (BSL) in a range of everyday situations. The qualification will allow learners to participate in longer and more varied conversations than at Level 1. The course will develop communication in BSL about real life, routine, and daily experiences. The learner will be able to deal with most routine communication and have enough understanding of grammar to cope with some non-routine communication. Learners should be taught a number of regional variations in sign language.

The course has been mapped against A2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).

Course structure

The course is divded into 25 lessons which can be completed separately. To achieve the full Signature Level 2 Certificate in British Sign Language qualification, candidates must complete three assessments.
