British Sign Language courses are in demand by learners of all ages.
Becoming a Signature approved centre enables you to make a difference through promoting and teaching deaf communication skills, while generating income.
As part of our ongoing commitment to our centres and learners, we continuously work with our regulator to ensure our centre approval process is the best it can be. We are proud of the challenges our qualifications provide, and we constantly exceed what is expected from us to always be fair and consistent.
You must read and understand the roles and responsibilities document which gives details of the staff and resources you need to have to deliver our qualifications.
You must also read the terms and conditions of centre approval and qualification specifications and regulations for the qualifications you would like to offer. This is to ensure you are able to deliver the qualifications you are approved for.

Complete the below application form to begin your application and we will create your IRIS account and send across your login details within 2 working days of your application. This is often much quicker.
