British Sign Language (BSL) Level 3 Course
This qualification meets the learning needs of those who already have competence in BSL at Level 2 and are interested in developing their skills and knowledge. The learner will be able to understand and use varied BSL in a range of work and social situations. The learner will also develop an advanced knowledge of the structure and function of British Sign Language and an understanding of the Deaf Community and Deaf Culture.
The natural context of using BSL is in two-way interactions (discussions, conversations, debates etc.), as well as one-way interactions (monologues, presentations etc.). The candidate is therefore expected to demonstrate receptive and productive skills in both two-way and one-way interactions. Signature recommends the best approach to teaching and assessing this qualification is by covering both receptive and productive skills together.
