British Sign Language (BSL) Level 6 Course
This qualification will develop the learner’s language skills from Level 4 towards Level 6 of the National Occupational Standards for Languages (CILT 2010), or C1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). Upon successful completion of this qualification, the learner will be able to use and understand complex BSL in all types of social and professional interaction. The learner will also be able to demonstrate language skills equivalent to an undergraduate degree in Modern Languages.
Candidates must demonstrate both receptive and productive BSL skills at Level 6, and in all of the eight topics that make up this qualification. Internal and external assessments may cover any of the topics listed in this qualification.

It may be useful for those who already work, or wish to work, in a professional capacity with Deaf people, such as teachers of the deaf, social workers for deaf people, voluntary workers with deaf people and employees within a deaf organisation. It may also be used as evidence of proficiency in BSL for sign language interpreters and sign language translators.
