CCHI requires interpreters to recertify every 5 years to ensure they maintain their knowledge and skills in the field of healthcare interpreting.
To maintain certification, interpreters must earn Continuing Education Units (CEUs) to ensure they stay up-to-date with industry developments, medical terminology, and interpreting techniques.
If the recertification requirements are not met within the designated time, the interpreter will lose their certification status and may need to reapply and complete the certification process from the beginning.
CCHI generally requires interpreters to complete 20 CEUs over the 5-year recertification period to ensure ongoing professional development and competency.
Interpreters can earn CEUs through a variety of professional development activities, including workshops, webinars, and other relevant training activities that enhance their skills and knowledge.
