British Sign Language Award SCQF level 5

The British Sign Language Award at SCQF level 5 has been designed to appeal to both hearing and deaf learners. This Award will help learners to develop their language skills and enable them to communicate with British Sign Language (BSL) users in various contexts. Learners will also develop their understanding of how sign languages work, and how they differ from spoken and written languages.

This Award will help learners develop the following language competences: receptive skills, productive skills, conversation skills and knowledge of sign linguistics. At SCQF level 5, learners will also have the opportunity to develop their knowledge and understanding of the history and development of British Sign Language and the Deaf Community in Scotland and beyond.

For learners who already use British Sign Language, the award will help them develop their ability to communicate clearly, think critically and to use their own language creatively. Those taking the SCQF level 5 award will also gain a deeper insight into the history and cultural heritage of British Sign Language.

Achievement of this Award is nationally recognised.
