IF I was living in a bigger city, then I want my interpreter to be certified but since I live 3 hours away from a big city, then I prefer my interpreter to be qualified at least.

Afterall, deaf in rural areas do have to compromise in areas of certified vs. qualified interpreter.

Not many certified interpreters are willing to drive for 3 hours to do an hour work, even if mileage is being paid for as well. So one has to compromise. If no compromise, then you won't have an interpreter.

The "one size fits all" isn't necessairly going to work.
