1. Workshops approved for RID Continuing Education Units (CEUs) must have measurable educational objectives that must be published in the promotional announcements of the activity.

2. In conformance with the local, state, provincial, and federal statutes regarding disabilities, activities and facilities shall be accessible to all individuals.

3. Advertisement for the workshop should have content level, name of the RID approved sponsor, target audience, solicitation request for reasonable accommodations, RID CMP and Associate for Continuing Education Tracking logos, number of CEUs offered, content area, and the refund and cancellation policy.

4. The method of delivery should allow for and encourage active involvement on the part of the participants, feedback, and reinforcement of the learned knowledge or skill. 

To have your workshop listed as a RID Sponsor approved activity:

1. Contact us at least 45 days before the date of the workshop to be approved for RID CEUs.

2. We will provide you with the necessary paperwork to approve the activity for RID CEUs.

3. CEUs for the activities will generally be determined following the formula of (1) one CEU being equal to (10) ten contact hours.

4. CEUs for non-traditional activities will generally be determined by the sponsor, who will note the method for determining CEUs in the Activity Plan Form.

PINRAs are professional development opportunities interpreters may want to attend but are not sponsored by an approved RID CMP sponsor. As an approved RID CMP sponsor, these events could be approved for CEUs and here is how:

1. Obtain information about the conference, workshop, or seminar you want to attend.

2. Contact Dr. Eric Weber at eweber@scsdb.org at least two weeks before the activity to discuss the PINRA to determine whether it is CEU-worthy, which category the activity will fall (general studies vs. professional studies) and how many CEUs can be awarded for the activity. We will then send you a PINRA form to complete and return.

3. Attend the conference or seminar and collect the appropriate documentation.

4. Once the activity is completed, send in your proof of attendance along with a check or money order for a $10 processing fee made payable to SCSDB (please write "PINRA" on memo line). Mail to:

SCSDB Division of Outreach Services
Attn: Dr. Eric Weber
101 Executive Center Drive
Suite 120, Saluda Building
Columbia, SC 29210

5. We will then enter your CEUs.
