If you do not hold the necessary degree to take your exam, you may apply for the Alternative Pathway. The Alternative Pathway consists of an Educational Equivalency Application which uses a point system that awards credit for college classes, interpreting experience, and professional development. https://rid.org/certification/alternative-pathway-program/
RID’s purpose is to serve equally our members, profession, and the public by promoting and advocating for qualified and effective interpreters in all spaces where intersectional diverse Deaf lives are impacted.
