Irish Sign Language Courses

The courses below are run year round and we follow the curriculum provided by Signature – www.signature.org.uk

From Signature:

We are pleased to announce that our qualifications have been aligned with the National Framework for Qualifications for Ireland (NFQ), as set down by the National Qualifications Authority of Ireland (NQAI).

This means learners who take a Signature qualification will be recognised under the National Framework of Qualification.   For example, the alignment states that Signature Level 1 Award in Irish Sign Language is aligned with NFQ Level 3.

This is a very positive step forward for learners and centres in Ireland.

Basic ISL Course

This is a short course running for 10 weeks. It is ideal for those who wish to learn Basic ISL. However, this course does not enable you to fully communicate with other sign language users.

This course has 1 assessment which is optional and costs extra.

Level 1 ISL Course

A Certificate will be awarded on passing all assessments. You may continue onto Level 2 after passing Level 1 successfully.

This is a full course which runs for approximately 28 weeks. There are three assessments which form part of this course; these assessments are optional however and cost extra.

Level 2 ISL Course

This is full course which runs for approximately 28 weeks. There are three assesments which form part of this course; these assesments are optional however and cost extra.

A Certificate will be awarded on passing all assesments. You may continue onto Level 3 after passing Level 2 successfully. Those wishing to do Level 2 but have not done Level 1 maybe be able to bypass Level 1 if the tutor feels they are suitably capable.

Level 3 ISL Course

We currently do not run Level 3 course but hope to do so when there are enough requests for this course to be held. Those interested in doing Level 3 who have not done Level 1 or 2 with Signature will be asked to complete all assessments successfully.
