Summary
- Tutor is available to students
Overview
A distance learning course is the ideal way to gain a Level 2 qualification in Deaf Awareness. Whether you're looking to go on to further education, improve your job prospects or expand your knowledge, distance learning Level 2 Deaf Awareness is a flexible and convenient course, which allows you to comprehensively prepare for a exam or career through home study. What's more, because the distance learning Level 2 Deaf Awareness course is a fully comprehensive course, no prior knowledge is required.
The Deaf Awareness programme is a general introduction to deafness. Its purpose is to provide information and strategies that will enable individuals to understand a range of deaf issues and use the knowledge gained to communicate more effectively with those from the hard of hearing through to the profoundly deaf.
It is designed for anyone in a work or social capacity who has the potential to come into contact with deaf people, for example banks and retail staff, care workers, education and training bodies, emergency services, hospital and health centre staff, housing associations, legal services, public sector workers, support organisations, theatre and cinema staff, transport bodies and breakdown services, friends, family members and partners, whilst also being a valuable first step for people planning on becoming a communication professional. The programme will equip the reader with awareness skills that when applied will reduce the barriers arising from the communication difficulties between hearing and deaf people.

Course Assessments
The Deaf Awareness courseis marked through a process of continuous assessment guided by your tutor following NCFE guidelines. This means that your qualification will be awarded according to your performance on assessments rather than by taking an exam.
We send the full course out, you then read through the course in your own time and complete the assignments which you send to your tutor for marking. There is no word count for these assignments. However, one sentence answers will be rejected and you will have to re-submit it for marking.
Completing a series of tutor marked assignments together with an end of course multi-choice questionnaire, will lead you to the highly acclaimed NCFE Deaf Awareness Certificate.
