As I told you that I am mentor with ASL Students. Can they be working as ASL Interpreters? If have trainee with the certified ASL Interpreter, then can they learn from them. ASL students are not certified to work with because they can make errors over the deaf people communication access requirement. When ASL students graduate and get exam to pass the certification or license. They can go up to level 5.

Level 1 are like Interpreters with a Level I can be used in one-on-one situations where communication can be interrupted easily for clarification and situations where there will be limited voicing required. Level 2 are like who is evaluated for Level 3 certification and receives less than a seventy-five on any portion of the Level 3 test is certified as a Level 2 interpreter. Level 3 are like Interpreters with a Level III can be used in most one-on-one situations, most group sessions, or most workshops with limited voicing required. Level 4 are like Interpreters with a Level IV should not be used in the following situations: civil or criminal court cases or extensive mental health therapy. Level 5 are like able to excel consistently at interpreting in the mode (simultaneous, consecutive, and sight) required by the setting and provide accurate renditions of informal, formal, and highly formal discourse.

CODA Interpreters are cool but should have certification for the job. I knew it is silly but TRUE! Because they are working and need that license or certification.

Everyone is required to have license or certification to interpreting for the deaf. You know there is Certification Deaf Interpreter! Yes, there are few around in the USA. They have done the exam for the certification like ASL students.

ASL student can work as nurse, police, or lawyer! That is our dream! LOL
