Introduction to BSL Level 3
The Level 3 Certificate in British Sign Language (BSL) meets the learning needs if you already have competence in BSL at Level 2 and are interested in developing your skills and knowledge.
​
You will develop an advanced knowledge of the structure and function of British Sign Language and an understanding of the Deaf Community and Deaf Culture.
​
You will work towards being able to understand and use varied BSL in a range of work and social situations.
Objectives
Successful completion of this qualification can be used as evidence of the language skills needed in order to be able to operate independently and at an advanced level in the target language.
It is useful for if you work on a regular basis with Deaf people (for example social workers, teachers of the Deaf, communicators, voluntary workers, workers within Deaf organisations, schools, etc), and if you aspire to work in these contexts, or if you wish to expand your knowledge and skills in British Sign Language.

OUR SERVICES
WHO WEÂ ARE
Karen and Andrew
Barriers to communication encountered every day by Andrew and Karen Belcher inspired them to set up a business to improve communication between Deaf and hearing people.
Both Karen and Andrew were born profoundly Deaf and are native British Sign Language users. The couple have also faced many battles to have the same equality as others, particularly when it comes to communication. Their desire to educate people about British Sign Language and Deaf Awareness is evident in their classes.
​
Andrew’s career began as a Social Worker Assistant, specialising in Deaf children. This experience, along with raising his profoundly Deaf children, ignited an aspiration to enable communication for all. This led to Andrew becoming a qualified teacher and delivering courses, which has expanded over the years. He has now taught at various establishments for more than 11 years.
​
Karen, being the middle of three generations of Deafness in her family, offers experiences from different aspects. Karen is also a qualified BSL Translator and holds the Certificate in Education, along with over 16 years’ experience of delivering Deaf Awareness and teaching British Sign Language. Karen also works as an In-Vision Translator for television and websites.
​
With these combined experiences, Karen and Andrew offer many perspectives; as a child of Deaf adults, being Deaf themselves, and eventually, as parents of Deaf children. This has proven to be especially beneficial for all students, especially for schools and families alike.
Along with the passion for their native language, they are determined to provide high quality learning for students. Classes are fun, interactive, and taught from the heart, but with the professional integrity one would expect from a training provider.
Andrew was a finalist for the highly competitive Excellent Teacher category at the Signature Awards in November 2018. On learning about his nomination Andrew said, "I was stunned to be nominated! This shows my passion our beautiful language transpires into my classes. Thank you to those who nominated me!"
