BSL Level 2   (Interview required)
Signature
This course is designed to enable learners to develop an ability to communicate with deaf people using BSL in a range of familiar contexts, participating in longer and more open-ended exchanges than at level 1.

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. The content of the Signature level 2 award will contain four themes: about you; eating and drinking; shopping and spending; travel and holidays. All learners will study the first theme and two of the other three. The specification has been designed to be consistent with the National Language Standards at Level 2.
