To enhance the skills of interpreters in the field, Rochester Institute of Technology’s National Technical Institute for the Deaf now is offering five certificate programs in American Sign Language specialties.

The programs are:

– Healthcare Interpreting
– Deaf Interpreting
– Educational Interpreting
– Trilingual Interpreting
– Signed Language Translation

“We are excited to be able to provide these certificate programs to help professional interpreters enhance their skills and sub-specialties,” said Keith Cagle, chairperson of NTID’s ASL and Interpreting Education department.

NTID is among the country’s first established formal ASL interpreter training programs. In addition to these certificate programs, NTID offers both a bachelor’s degree in American Sign Language-English interpretation, and a master’s degree in health care interpretation.
