Private Level 1 Sign Language Courses

Here at DFLtd we understand that asking staff to enrol on an accredited sign language course can be time consuming and public courses don’t always provide the language that is most needed by your staff and customers until years of training has been completed.

For example, your staff might not need to chat about holidays and travelling if they are working in a bank so we focus on language, culture and vocabulary that’s important for you, in your industry.

Here’s some of the recent industries DFLtd has provided with tailored training packages:

• County Councils
• Hospitals
• Front-line Ambulance Staff
• Care Homes
• Banks & Building Societies
• Police Forces
• Golf Clubs

Course Content

At the end of a standard Level 1 qualification, Learners will be able to:
