Sign Language
This introductory course is suitable for those wishing to consider a future career in sign language interpretation and also for those who have a personal interest in the area. The objective of the course is to bring deaf awareness to the candidates, and also to facilitate those who may have a deaf family member whom they may wish to communicate with on a deeper level. This course is suitable for both deaf and hearing individuals and it is important to inform the learner that this course is purely introductory and does not qualify the learner to be an interpreter.
Duration
10 weeks
