Hello all, unsure if this is the correct place so please let me know if it is not so I can adjust accordingly.
I have been attempting to research this but there is not a lot of stuff online that I am seeing. I have some questions on how people become ASL interpreters.
- do you need to get a degree to do this or are you able to just get certified through ASL programs? (programs example: I use DHHS in MI - I emailed them but haven't seen a reply yet so figured I'd ask here)
- are there tests through the state for you to get certified along with completing these classes?
- do qualifications differ by state? (I assume) if so does anyone happen to know MI or have a link that can give me more information? the organization website I was on was not very thorough in terms of instructions - just had links to paperwork.
- When one is certified is it expected that they work full time as ASL interpreters or is volunteering an option?
Love to hear any information you guys have on the subject! Let me know if there are any important questions I am not asking here. Thanks
