Students will be trained in the various aspects of interpreting and upon successful completion of the program should be prepared for entry-level work in the field (with sufficient processing and language fluency). Interpreters function as cultural and linguistic facilitators between deaf person(s) and hearing person(s) in a variety of settings. This Certificate of Achievement focuses on the teaching of knowledge and skills regarding the profession of ASL/English Interpreting. To enter the program, students must demonstrate ability to process rapid and complex auditory and visual input and ability to synthesize and quickly translate concepts for meaning into the target language. These skills and abilities are developed in ASL 003 and 004. The passage of laws such as the ADA the expansion of services and opportunities for Deaf and hard-of-hearing people has created a large market for interpreters. Opportunities for interpreting work are plentiful for pre-certified interpreters in the sample following settings in Southern California: college \u0026 university level, vocational training programs, Department of rehabilitation, video relay service and as a independent contractor for interpreting agencies. Note: • Working as an interpreter in K-12 Education requires a 4.0 score out of a 5.0 scale on the national assessment test, the Educational Interpreter Performance Assessment (EIPA). • Receiving an AA in ASL/English Interpretation or a Certifi\u0002cate of Achievement in ASL/English Interpretation does not qualify a student for all interpreting assignments. • Completion of the program does not qualify someone as a \"certified\" interpreter. Interpreter Certification (currently issued by the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf (RID)) is a separate process and test. However, the knowledge students gain in our program will help assist in preparing for National and/or State level certification tests.
