Do you want to help the Deaf and hard of hearing community? Pikes Peak State College’s Sign Language Interpreter Preparation program teaches you the skills and ethics you need to work with people with hearing disabilities. We help you succeed as a new professional, following Deaf culture expectations, ethics, and best practices. You'll work with the Deaf community, native ASL users, and certified interpreters in different industries, community settings, and schools. After completing the program, you'll be ready for entry-level jobs as a pre-certified interpreter.
The Sign Language Interpreter is a day-only, fall start program will provide you with exceptional knowledge and a skill set that will prepare you to partner with the Deaf community. When you complete the AAS Degree in Sign Language Interpretation you will be prepared for entry-level, pre-certified interpreter/translator employment.
The ASL certificate is for students who want to broaden their horizons by learning a new language and who plan to use their skills for casual communication as opposed to professional interpreting.
