Signature Level 3 NVQ Certificate in BSL: Part 1

Part 1 of the Signature Level 3 NVQ Certificate in BSL prepares students for the assessment component of the programme (Part 2).

Students will receive training in participating in conversations and discussions delivered at normal speed on a range of topics in different work and social situations. Also students will participate in straightforward social interaction as well as following uncomplicated negotiations, discussions and instructions in their area of work. We will help students develop their BSL skills in understanding straightforward news items, interviews and documentaries.

Also students will develop their BSL skills to use modern technology. There will be considerable emphasis on developing vocabulary to get straightforward messages across and to enable efficient participation in conversation with a variety of participants, using complex or abstract ideas. If students do not have the vocabulary, or the other person does not understand, they will be shown alternative ways in getting their message across.

The course is classroom based and led by Terry Edwards, Jane Atkinson and Stuart Anderson, native BSL users who have a combined total of over 40 years BSL teaching experience and 20 years BSL assessing experience. It uses a variety of teaching methods including: Group and pair work activities, role play and simulations, demonstrations, discussions, PowerPoint presentations, video, conversation, web-cam based communication.
