Request PINRA CEUs

RID REQUIREMENTS

Participant Initiated Non-RID Activities (PINRAs) are activities an interpreter/transliterator wishes to attend which are not offered by an RID approved Sponsor. The activity must be sponsored by an organization with standards specific to its area of expertise. The activity must have a defined format and clearly identified educational objectives. If the application to interpreting is unclear, the application should provide a single page or more describing how attending the activity will improve the applicant’s interpreting work. PINRAs include but are not limited to: auditing a college course, non-credit courses at an educational institution, association or corporate trainings (e.g., American Bar Association, Teacher’s Union, and Social Work Association), school district in-service or an organization’s conventions/workshops. Administrative paperwork is processed by the Sponsor.

NOTE: Participant must apply for approval from a Sponsor prior to the commencement of the activity. PINRAs should not be used for sponsor initiated activities or group activities.

STEP ONE:

Choose the activity/conference you want to attend. The activity/conference does not have to pertain strictly to interpreting. It can be a regional or national conference of another profession or could be a formal in-service training by an employer. As long as the activity is educationally beneficial to you as an interpreter, it can earn CEUs for you!

STEP TWO:

Complete the PINRA CEU Application. Please complete the application 30 days prior to the event to allow time to review the submission. PINRAs cannot begin until you recieve confirmation of approval. If you have not heard back after a week, please email meghancmp@gmail.com.
