History

Established in 2008.

On the 24^th December 2008 Deaf owners founded Femaura. We believe in high quality of sign language education.

A need for a Deaf led Social Enterprise was recognized from the many barriers faced by Deaf people within society. The interpreting agencies in operation at the time were failing to meet the needs of Deaf people. From a Deaf perspective, it is vital that Deaf people stand up for their rights, with this in mind Femaura was created, a step forward to empowering Deaf people.

Upon the establishment of Femaura, many requests were received for interpreters, deaf consultation and one to one BSL tuition. As a result of this Femaura’s paths widened to what it is today. In 2009, following the expansion of Femaura, BSL courses were added to the many services already available.

From the onset, the popularity of the BSL courses soon became clear, thus, becoming the main focus of Femaura. In 2011, Femaura joined ABC Awards, offering BSL Level 1, 2 and 3. With accreditation from OCN.
