It’s almost here!

Achieving this qualification means that learners will be able to understand and use varied BSL in a range of work and social situations.

The assessment criteria is taken from the UK Occupational Language Standards (Instructs 2013) at Level 3 (‘Varied’ language use). 

These standards are equivalent to those for Modern Foreign Languages at AS and A2 level.  The qualification is at Level 3 on the Qualification & Credit Framework (RQF), Advanced Level on the Language Ladder, and Level B2 on the Common European Framework (CEFR).

It caters for the learning needs of those who already have competence in BSL at Level 2 and are interested in developing their skills and knowledge.

The learner will develop an advanced knowledge of the structure and function of British Sign Language and an understanding of the Deaf Community and Deaf Culture.

The qualification is useful for those who work on a regular basis with Deaf people (for example social workers, teachers of the Deaf, communicators, voluntary workers, workers within Deaf organisations, schools, etc), those who aspire to work in these contexts, and those who wish to expand their knowledge and skills in British Sign Language.
