Career Prospects
Recommended Credentials
The NIC (community interpreting) and the EIPA (educational interpreting) are industry standard tests. MDC recommends that students try Part 1 (Knowledge Exam) of the NIC or the EIPA, or both, upon completion of the program or during their internship.
The NIC is a test by the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf (RID, www.rid.org). The EIPA is administered by Boys Town National Research Hospital: http://www.classroominterpreting.org/EIPA/index.asp.
Hiring entities look more favorably at candidates who have either, or both credentials.
