for college classes.. I required a certificated interpreter...

hope this is clear to you.
Yes, different interpreters have different levels of certifications. I had this similar discussion with a few interpreters at my college. I was told that some higher-level interpreters also have psychology certification. The reason for this is so that they can analyze the student by how he/she signs. These kind of interpreters are usually there for court cases. They can analyze what a deaf person is thinking or doing while signing to the public in a court room.
