Level 2 in British Sign Language

This qualification is designed to enable learners to develop their BSL Level 1 skills to communicate with Deaf people using BSL in a range of familiar contexts, participating in longer and more open-ended exchanges.

The course will develop functional communication in BSL about a range of real life, routine and daily experiences. The learner will be able to deal with most routine language tasks and have sufficient grasp of grammar to cope with some non-routine tasks.

This Level is suitable to anyone who has a basic level of skills and knowledge in BSL. It will be of particular interest to those looking to make the step to the higher level BSL qualifications or simply to improve communication with Deaf and Hard of hearing.

Candidates are assessed by a combination of a multiple choice exam paper, a presentation, and a conversation in BSL. Successful candidates can progress to Pre-Level 3 in British Sign Language or Level 3 NVQ Certificate in British Sign Language.
