Marcus - Level 6 Student
LEARN BSL WITH REMARK!
The Level 6 Certificate in British Sign Language Studies is our highest level BSL qualification.
It has been developed to provide a stepping stone into qualified sign language interpreter status, or a career working with Deaf people in situations where the use of sign language is an everyday communication tool.
This qualification may be used as evidence of full professional proficiency in BSL. It may be useful for those who already work, or wish to work, in a professional capacity with Deaf people, such as teachers of the deaf, social workers for deaf people, voluntary workers with deaf people and employees within a deaf organisation. It may also be used as evidence of proficiency in BSL for sign language interpreters and sign language translators.
The Level 6 Certificate course has been redesigned to enable you to use and understand complex BSL in all types of social and professional interactions.
Teaching and assessments are focused around eight topics. Which are:
You will be expected to demonstrate receptive and productive skills on these topics in a variety of two-way and one-way interactions. This includes informal 1-1 discussions, group debates, formal group meetings and discussions, presentations and a receptive skills exam.
Your performance will be measured through six assessments. Half of these will be assessed internally by our team of assessors and the other half will be filmed and externally marked by Signature assessors.
We’re really looking forward to working with you and watching you develop over the full duration of the programme. Recognising your different learning needs and availability, we are offering three programmes of study for you to choose from:
* Full attendance is mandatory in order to develop your skills and complete assessments as you go along. *

want to progress from Level 3 study in BSL, and who may want to progress to more advanced levels of study in BSL at a later date

This qualification may be used as evidence of full professional proficiency in BSL. It may be useful for those who already work, or wish to work, in a professional capacity with Deaf people, such as teachers of the deaf, social workers for deaf people, voluntary workers with deaf people and employees within a deaf organisation.
It may also be used as evidence of proficiency in BSL for sign language interpreters and sign language translators.
Candidates must possess Signature/CACDP Level 3 in BSL and at least one year’s experience integrating within a Deaf environment and attending Deaf events.
