Customers' reviews
Highly recommend Ramas McRae Deaf Awareness Training. I had an unusual work situation involving a wide range of people from different industries. Ramas gave me complete insight to his training from the beginning, so that we could tailor the DAT specifically to my workplace. Ramas did a fantastic job: everyone was very engaged, asked lots of questions and later expressed the value of this education. Most importantly, workplace relations improved dramatically after the DAT. Mission accomplished! Thanks Ramas.

Could not recommend Ramas more highly. He is extremely professional, knowledgeable and welcoming. With a sharp creative mind, Ramas was able to bring leadership and authenticity to our production, elevating it to a whole new level. Given Ramas’s broad skillset, we were able to utilise a number of his talents including: Deaf awareness training, script consultation and interpretation, language training and screen directing. I continue to collaborate with Ramas on multiple projects and am always learning from him. Also his beard is much more impressive in real life.
I couldn't recommend Ramas McRae highly enough. The translations he has provided for us on numerous projects have always been amazing, and allow our videos to reach a wider audience. He is always fast and professional to deal with and writes back immediately. If you're looking to make your content more accessible and reach a greater audience, you need someone like Ramas. Thanks again for all your great work!
