Certificate Maintenance Program (CMP)

"Excellence in the delivery of interpreting and transliterating services is contingent upon the pursuit of lifelong learning." (Motion 96.43)

RID's Certificate Maintenance Program is designed to maintain the integrity of interpreter certification by providing opportunities for interpreters to pursue further education in the field. Certified interpreters are required to earn 8.0 CEUs during each 4 year CMP cycle after certification. Interpreters who are not yet certified may use the Associate Continuing Education Tracking program to track their own education year by year.

For a detailed description of how interpreters maintain their certification, go to RID's CMP page at their web site. These pages list cycle timelines, the requirements of participation, the types of activities that earn CEUs (continuing education units), and more.

There is also information at www.tnrid.org/cmp.html to answer some of the most frequently asked questions.

TRANSCRIPTS
RID members can now at any time check their Certification Maintenance Program transcript online. From RID's website at www.rid.org, members can check their courses taken, cycle end date, and CEUs accrued to date. You need your RID member number and password to access your record. Upon completion of an activity, it can take up to 60 days for your CEUs to be recorded on your transcript. If something is missing or incorrect, contact the sponsor of the activity or your local sponsor.


Associate Continuing Education Tracking Program (ACET)

This program is for associate member interpreters who are interested in earning CEUs for participating in educational activities within the field. This is a great way to keep track of your professional development for proving in-service hours for educational settings or continuing education for state licensure requirements. For more information, visit RID's ACET page at their Web site.
