Level 1
Frontline British Sign Language for Staff
This course is designed to teach learners to communicate with Deaf people in British Sign Language (BSL) on a range of topics that involve simple, everyday language use.
If you currently work in frontline services and come into contact with Deaf people, which may be as Deaf colleagues, customers, clients, service users, or a member of the general public, this is the ideal course for you.
Deaf people’s experience of communication when they interface with service providers is often disappointing; be part of the group that are able to communicate and help Deaf people.
Following the BSL Frontline Staff course, you could progress onto the Level 1 Award, also offered by the college.
Subjects Covered
We will cover a wide range of topics including:
- Understanding and communicating basic conversation when meeting people
- Know basic numbers
- Learn how to communicate about the weather
- Know a range of transport modes
- Communicate a range of directions
Assessment Method
You will be assessed via a basic conversation between yourself and a teacher, where you will demonstrate your ability to both use and recognise BSL when communicating about the topics covered throughout the course.
