Level 1 Award in British Sign Language

This qualification is designed to teach learners to communicate with Deaf people in British Sign Language (BSL) on a range of topics that involve simple, everyday language use. You will gain basic skills and confidence in the production and reception of BSL.

Our courses start at Level 1 (somewhat GCSE level) up to Level 6 (a University degree equivalent).

appa me ltd, based in Ladywell and just south of Lewisham, is primarily a British Sign Language training company. We offer high-quality BSL training and a range of other professional and vocational courses.

We teach at our office in Lewisham and all classes are simultaneously hosted on Zoom for live teaching be it face to face or remote.

If you want to learn sign language or train as a sign language interpreter we have award-winning teachers delivering courses honed to excellence over 3 decades.

Furthermore, we offer CPD courses aimed largely at professional Interpreters but relevant to CSW’s and Level 6 language users.

For Level 3 courses and up we also offer NUS membership and access to the Totum NUS Student Card.
