ATTENTION
EIPA Interpreters
The State of Utah has recently changed their certification eligibility for educational interpreters and the EIPA score to a 4.0 passing score. By August 2010, EIPA interpreters will be restricted to working in their certified area only.
An initial score of 3.5 is recognized as passing in Utah, with the stipulation that interpreters must advance to a 4.0 within four (4) years from the date of original certification.
We will see a need for more interpreters to retake the test in order to keep their certification at the 4.0 level.
