Last Updated 2025-05-08
Applications open Friday 23rd May. Watch this space!
We have a high pass rate on our BSL courses, here are some of our level 2 students celebrating their success:
Level 2 is designed to enable learners to develop their skills to communicate with Deaf people using British Sign Language (BSL) in a range of everyday situations. The qualification will allow learners to participate in longer and more varied conversations than at Level 1. The course will develop communication in BSL about real life, routine, and daily experiences. The learner will be able to deal with most routine communication and have enough understanding of grammar to cope with some non-routine communication. Learners will be taught a number of regional variations in sign language. You can see the full overview of this Qualification here.
Entry requirements as outlined by Signature:
- applicants must be 16 or over
- applicants must demonstrate competence in BSL at Level 1
- applicants must have sufficient sight, manual dexterity, facial and body movement to produce and receive BSL
Please note: If you are currently awaiting your level 1 results, you are still welcome to apply. Any offer of a place will be conditional on successfully passing level 1.
