RDI is proud to introduce ”Road to Deaf Interpreting” Training Series for the second time! This is an interpreter preparation workshop series especially for Deaf people. It will provide the same level of training offered to hearing interpreters but will be specifically adjusted to meet the needs of Deaf persons entering the Deaf intepreting field. The program is offered 10 weekends spread out over a year and half. At the end of this program, new interpreters should feel ready to enter the field as mentees and more experienced interpreters should feel more comfortable with their level of training and knowledge to begin doing more and varied kinds of interpreting.

Each workshop in the series includes in-class lectures, discussions, and exercises; homework assignments; reading, video tapes, and projects; and a final evaluation. See FAQ for more information on cost and location.Deaf and hearing local instructors who are certified by RID will participate as guest presenters for some of the courses.
