The simle answer is, it depends. If one is uncertified, their options are very limited, due to the standards set in the community, the state, and nationally. Should a certified interpreter work in the k-12 educational system, it is roughly $20 hr plus health benefits (differs by district). Standard FreeLance work runs approximately $40-60 per hour, again depending on the situation. There are no health benefits for the standard FL interpreter, so the responsibility falls onto the interpreter, as well as deducting their own taxes. Other standards are a 2hour minimum and a team interpreter/s depending on the situation. Mileage, parking, etc are usually added to the invoice as well. If one decides to go into vrs..video relay interpreting, each company (I.e.: Sorenson, Purple etc) have their own scale and regulations per the FAA.

How much education must a sign language interpreter have?

The amount of education that a sign language interpreter must have depends on what kind of interpreter you want to become. It used to be that all you needed to become an interpreter was the knowledge of sign language and whatever language you were interpreting it to or from. Because of the deaf community pushing for better qualified interpreters, most states now require interpreters to pass a state or national test. Most of these tests require both a written as well as a performance test of some kind. While it is not yet required in most states to have any formal education in sign language, most interpreters have at least an associates degree from an interpreter training program. These programs train its interpreters in much more than just how to sign. Students learn how to process information, how to handle themselves in different settings, and the code of ethics that interpreters are required to follow. In recent years some colleges are now offering bachelors degrees in American Sign Language Interpreting. I suspect that eventually some type of college degree will be required to work as a sign language interpreter.
