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.
