Questions

I can only give a thumb impression. Can I learn to sign?

Yes. The course helps you make a simple signature and practise it until it is the same every time. For changing your signature in bank records, ask your bank.

Will the centre fill my forms for me?

The aim is that you learn to fill them yourself. The trainer guides you during practice.

How long is the course?

About 8 hours, with practice on sample forms, bank slips and a cheque.
