The course is an introduction to enhancing communication and is an ideal opportunity for those in client facing roles to learn how they can support and communicate with deaf people.
Assistant Minister for Social Security, Deputy Malcolm Ferey said: "Following the recruitment of our dedicated Community Engagement Officer, it is important that we continue to provide our dDeaf community with the right support that can give them the independence to carry out their day-to-day tasks.
"This course will give people a Signature Level 1 understanding of the skills and knowledge to enable this to happen and I would encourage enrolment on to this course so people can make a positive difference in the community."
More details about the course are available online.
