CEUs for Participant Initiated Non-RID Activity (PINRA)

Participant Initiated Non-RID Activities (PINRAs) are activities an interpreter/transliterator wishes to attend which are not offered by an RID approved Sponsor. The activity must be sponsored by an organization with standards specific to its area of expertise. The activity must have a defined format and clearly identified educational objectives. Administrative paperwork is processed by the Sponsor.

IMPORTANT NOTES: 

• Participant must apply for and receive approval from a Sponsor prior to the commencement of the activity. Please submit PINRA requests at least 14 days prior to the start of the activity.
• If an activity is mandatory for your job, it cannot be used to acquire CEUs.  You also cannot earn CEUs if you are working the activity, e.g., interpreting.
• If the activity's application to interpreting is unclear yet circumstances warrant professional studies credits, the applicant will be required to provide justification describing how attending the activity will improve the applicant’s interpreting work.
• RID awards 0.1 CEU for every 1 hour spent actively engaged in skill development. CEUs are not always awarded on a 1:1 basis. Your sponsor will work with you to determine the appropriate number of CEUs to be awarded for your studies.
