PINRA FOR CEUs

Applying for the PINRA is totally up to you! 

In order to keep the cost of the training courses down Love2ASL does not offer CEU's for Training Courses,

Why should everyone have to pay extra if you don't need the CEU's. Well, You Dont!

Other presenters charge an additonal $60-$125.00 if you ask for CEUS.

If you really want the CEUs. There is a better more fair way to receive CEUs.

You may apply for CEUs with a PINRA form, prior to the training course.

As long as the activity is educationally beneficial to you as an interpreter, it can earn CEUs for you!

Contact an RID Approved Sponsor and secure their agreement to process the paperwork
for the conference. Be sure to discuss the Content Area for which you are applying (Professional Studies or General Studies).
How many CEUs will be earned? (1 CEU = 10 contact hours)

Complete the Participant Initiated Activity Plan and Activity Report form from your
RID Sponsor.
Attach pertinent documentation such as an agenda, program book.
Return form and documentation to your Sponsor who will keep the form until your
activity is completed.
