PURPOSE: This amendment will streamline the Intern/Practicum approval process by relying on authorities in the field to determine the quality of Interpreter Training Programs.
(1) Intern/Practicum Certification (IPC) will be granted to a student applicant upon verification of registration in an interpreting practicum or internship course in an Interpreter Training Program (ITP) that is under the jurisdiction of a college or training program recognized by the United States Secretary of Education or the Commission on Collegiate Interpreter Education (CCIE) as being regionally or nationally accredited, or as approved by the Board for Certification of Interpreters (BCI).
(2) The applicant's ITP director/coordinator is responsible for notifying the BCI regarding the effective start and end dates of the IPC.
(3) If the requirements of sections (1) and (2) above are met, a student applicant need only submit the appropriate application form and fee in order to obtain the IPC.
(4) A student with IPC must follow the established guidelines and requirements of their ITP during their interpreting practicum or internship course.
(5) Should a student with an IPC either withdraw from or be denied admission to their interpreter practicum or internship course for any reason, their ITP director/coordinator is responsible for immediately notifying the BCI so that the student's IPC may be revoked.
