Course Description
This qualification is designed to enable learners to develop an ability to communicate with Deaf people using BSL in a range of familiar contexts, participating in longer and more open ended exchange than at Level 1. The course will develop functional communication in BSL about a range of real life, routine and daily experiences. The learner will be able to deal with most routine language tasks and have sufficient grasp of grammar to cope with some non-routine tasks.
Units BSL 201 and Unit 202 are designed to build on vocabulary from Level 1 and will be run concurrently. Candidates must achieve all three units for the full qualification.
