Signature Level 2 Award in British Sign Language
Study BSL with NDS
Students practicing their BSL skills in class
BSL Level 2 is aimed at those who would like to build on the basic skills they have already acquired. We follow the programme of study for the nationally recognised BSL Level 2 Certificate, developed by Signature.
The course is divided into three units:
- Productive Skills
- Conversational Skills
- Receptive Skills
On completion of the course…
Learners will be able to take part in longer, more complex conversations than at Level 1, and will be able to use a wider range of vocabulary.
Our deaf tutors teach to the highest standard
Our tutors are deaf BSL users, experienced in teaching BSL, and have a deep understanding of deaf language and culture. The quality of their teaching is reflected in our results.
Learners will often work in smaller groups, or with partners, enabling them to develop their skills and build their confidence in a friendly and supportive environment.
