Overview

The origins of sign language date back to the early stone ages, as humans didn’t evolve enough to speak. They used to communicate using signs and drawings, and utilizing those principles the modern day sign language has resurfaced for the hearing impaired. The UK alone has more than 150,000 hearing-impaired individuals and in order to communicate with them, you can take this British Sign Language (BSL) Level 1 & 2 course.

This course consists of various modules that are all geared towards helping you learn how to communicate using sign language. You start out with learning about family, following which you move onto describing people and animals where you look into stuff like ethnic groups, religion and clothes. Next, you learn to sign different activities at school like vocabulary, subjects and people who work at school. This course will also teach you to sign work, home and leisure related activities along with other aspects of everyday life such as time, opinions, illness and health. The course has a lot more to offer as you will see sign language examples incorporated within stories as well.

Overall this course can be very effective in order to learn sign language and if you get it now, you will only get a head start.

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.
