This one day training workshop will give you the knowledge to be able to use your BSL skills in various registers.  It aims to look at formal and informal language and demonstrate how these very different registers are employed when using BSL.  You will be taught how to recognise the characteristics of formal and informal language and you will therefore be able to adapt your responses to match those of the conversation participants. 

This workshop is a must for those who want to refine their BSL skills and is particularly relevant for those who will interpret the language on a professional basis.

Limited places so book now to avoid disappointment.
