Overview

With statistics for the number of deaf adults and children in the UK rising every year, it is becoming more apparent for us to grasp at least the basics of British sign language (BSL), especially if it means being able to communicate with our loved ones or if our chosen career paths call for the use of sign. Hearing and speech disabilities among the UK population have without a doubt paved the way for diversification, so whether you're already a member of the sign community or are seeking to begin learning the language from scratch, there's never been a better time to take up such an in-demand, specialist form of communication.

Made up of hand gestures, movements, body language and various facial expressions, it takes time and practice to be able to master British sign language and more importantly, learn how to communicate effectively with a person who is either completely deaf or has any degree of hearing impairment.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
