CPD For British Sign Language Interpreters


Welcome to Appa's professional development courses
Accreditation is an important factor in working as a professional BSL Interpreter. It shows that you are actively growing and advancing as a professional by developing and honing your skills and keeping up with developments.
The main accreditation bodies for BSL Interpreters, the NRCPD and RBSLI, require a certain number of hours of CPD activity per year. A proportion of this needs to be structured and recorded with a certificate.
At our offices in Lewisham, South East London, or remote via Zoom, we provide structured CPD training for BSL interpreters that meet NRCPD requirements.
These are interactive, live teaching sessions with dialogue and feedback. There is none of that pre-recorded video of readings from a powerslide. We take professional development seriously, and we hold ourselves to high standards of training quality.
You will not get a better CPD experience elsewhere!
