 • Providing a customised curriculum for students who use South African
   Sign Language (SASL) as their preferred method of communication.
 • Providing SASL interpreters throughout the course, including during
   the 6 months of workplace training.
 • Adopting a half-moon seating arrangement which is optimal for
   students learning through sign language.

Our Deaf and hard-of-hearing students have the invaluable experience of working with hearing peers throughout their studies. This experience, combined with the workplace training they complete, allows them to enter the working environment with confidence.
