EIPA
​
The Educational Interpreter Performance Assessment (EIPA) is a nationally recognized evaluation that assesses sign language interpreters working in elementary and secondary school settings. The assessment consists of both a written test and a performance evaluation. To maintain program integrity, the EIPA requires approved proctoring centers to administer all components. Accessible Integrated Media’s (AIM) Training Center in Largo, Maryland is an EIPA-approved proctor site serving test-takers in the Washington D.C. metro area. AIM provides a controlled environment and scheduled appointments for individuals looking to take the EIPA Diagnostic, Practice, or Full Evaluation, including both the written and interpreted performance sections. Test administrators ensure compliance with assessment protocols and submission of complete score reports to the national EIPA center. Passing the full EIPA evaluation demonstrates that educational interpreters meet a standard competency level for continuing professional practice, with higher scores indicating greater interpreting skills. AIM’s EIPA services allow local practitioners to conveniently take this essential qualification exam.
