Makaton Level 2

During your 10-week course you will use the signs and symbols of Makaton working in small groups and with the support of your tutor. There are always visual guides to help you learn the techniques and handouts are always available to be taken home.

There is a Makaton book available to purchase at your course costing £20, which is a great asset to your learning. If you are in receipt of certain benefits or have a low household income there are support in place to help with the cost of the book. Please speak with your course tutor for more details.

Makaton can be used in various settings and a great way to up your skills or add to your CV. Makaton is used in schools, care homes and young babies, as it is a form of communication for those that cannot communicate verbally but able to hear. Makaton uses speech as well as signs, so not to be mistaken for British Sign Language which is communication for those that cannot hear.

This course is full of fun and enjoyable ways to learn including how to sign songs, basic communication in passing with someone or to be able to hold a conversation with someone talking about family and friends.
