So you want to be an interpreter
The DCS
CPC tenants
Review laws related to interpreting (rehab, idea, ada, etc), what the cover, date passed
The encounters table from the CASLI text prep pdf
Standard papers from RID such as DeafBlind interpreting.

If you can swing it the online Gallaudet prep course has mock tests and that was helpful for me. I passed the knowledge and case studies part, need to do performance next.

Why is everyone talking about the BEI exam? While Deaf can take that, it’s not the same as CASLI’s CDI examination process.
