Continuing Education Units can be earned for SLSI Sponsored Activities, Academic Coursework, Independent Study, and/or Participant Initiated Non-RID Activities (PINRAs).

SLSI Initiated Activity: Workshops offered by SLSI. See What's New.

Academic Coursework: Participants gain Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for courses taken. RID requires a minuimum of a "C" in any course.  Dr. Burch requires a "B".  Participants are encouraged to design coursework experience toward a degree.

Independent Study: Participants engage in self-determined Independent Study Activities. This may range from developing and presenting a workshop to independent research on a topic of interest to the individual and the field. Participants are strongly encouraged to produce a written document that can be submitted for publication in a professional newsletter or journal.

Participant Initiated Non-RID Activity (Co-Sponsored Training): The field of interpreting interfaces with a vast array of disciplines. Workshops or training available may not be directly tied to interpreting, but offer the interpreter valuable knowledge s/he can bring to the job. Interpreters are urged to expand their horizons by taking training through workshops or seminars from related fields.
