DurationBritish Sign Language (BSL)
British Sign Language is a visual means of communicating using gestures, facial expression and body language with its own vocabulary, grammar and syntax. It is not dependent upon or related to English and is used mainly by people who are Deaf or to support those who have a hearing loss.
Similarly, to spoken language, there are regional variations. For example, the sign for ‘holiday’ which has around 10 -12 sign variations is dependent upon the area of the UK that you are in.
British Sign Language is a real, full and living language that is part of a rich cultural heritage and one of the UK’s indigenous languages.
Course aim:
To develop your confidence and skills when communicating with the deaf community.
To meet your personal and professional development targets.
To learn a new way of communicating when English is not the shared language.
To find an effective way of communicating with co workers when working in noisy environments.
To learn a new skill and show your commitment to life-long learning.
To gain a nationally recognized, Signature accredited, British Sign Language qualification.
