Printer-friendly versionPrinter-friendly version
Part 2 of the Signature Level 3 NVQ Certificate in BSL assesses candidates on their ability to meet the Signature qualification specification and follows the training component of this programme (Part 1). Candidates will be assessed on their ability to participate in conversations and discussions delivered at normal speed on a range of topics in different work and social situations. Also candidates will be assessed on how they are able to participate in straightforward social interaction as well as following uncomplicated negotiations, discussions and instructions in their area of work. We also will assess candidates on their understanding of straightforward news items, interviews and documentaries as well as their successful use of modern technology.

The programme consists of 2 units: Units BSL311 – receptive skills and  BSL312 – productive skills. This follows the Part 1 of the Signature Level 3 NVQ Certificate in BSL. For more information on the detailed criteria download the information pack below or visit www.signature.org.uk 

There will be a preliminary half-day interview to determine candidates’ eligibility to participate in the assessment programme. Once candidates have been accepted onto the course, they will be required to attend two consecutive induction days and a one-day workshop where they will gain a full understanding of NVQ procedures and requirements, learn all about the portfolio and what evidence is required.

Following this candidates will then be required to attend three two-hour tutorials over four months on one of the two monthly course dates. This means that they will meet with their assessor to get feedback and support for their clips. Participation in these tutorials should be sufficient to complete all portfolio requirements, however, if candidates require additional time to complete their portfolio they will be able to arrange extra sessions with their assessor. Candidates are also welcome to use Signamic premises during course times outside of their allocated tutorial time to film evidence. Signamic will arrange suitable role models to be present on these days for evidence collection. The total number of required clips is six, all of which will be will be arranged by Signamic. At the beginning of the programme candidates will be provided with a simple and easy-to-use blank portfolio to complete.
