Many states require EIPA or State certification in order to interpret for K-12 programs. Check with agencies in your state to confirm what is required. Tennessee has no certification requirements at this time. Gate recommends all interpreters pass a minimal evaluation before being placed into an institution full time. Your school can create an exam that is fitting. Additional options are the EIPA or RID Certification K-12. For information on these certifications click below:
