Overview

This qualification is designed to teach learners to communicate with deaf people using British Sign Language (BSL). This includes a range of topics that involve simple and everyday language. Learners will gain basic skills and confidence in production and reception of BSL.

The specification has been designed using the UK Occupational Language Standards 2010 at Level 1.

Qualification Structure

The qualification is divided into three units, each of which can be achieved separately. Learners who are new to BSL should cover BSL101 first, as units BSL102 and BSL103 build on this knowledge. To achieve the full Level 1 Award in British Sign Language, candidates must pass all units.
