Level 3 Training

Level 3 training helps you to improve and develop your signing and symbol skills and how to use them effectively every day.

You will revise the signs and symbols you learned in your Level 1 and 2 training, and learn the signs and symbols for Stages 5 and 6 of the Core Vocabulary.

Workshops

Level 3 training is made up of two modules that The Makaton Charity recommends are delivered online in two sessions of four hours each, on one or more days.
When face-to-face workshops are permitted again, Level 3 will typically be a full day of training.

For Level 3 training you should attend one of the following workshops:

  • Level 3 workshop
  • Follow-Up Workshop (Day 1)
  • Enhancement Workshop (Day 1)

It does not matter which workshop you attend as they cover the same content.
