PINRA
Participant Initiated Non-RID Activities (PINRA) include activities that an interpreter/transliterator wishes to attend but which are not offered by an RID approved sponsor. The activity must be sponsored by an organization with specific known standards and must have a specific format, educational objectives and purpose.
Benefits of Participant Initiated Non-RID Activities:
- Makes almost any activity an opportunity to earn CEUs
- Enables you to find activities suited to what you want to study
What Qualifies as a PINRA?
- Audited college courses
- Non-credit courses at an educational institution
- Corporate trainings
- Community education
- School district in-services
- Organizational conventions/workshops
Steps to Complete a PINRA
- Obtain information about the conference, workshop or seminar you want to attend.
- Contact an RID Approved Sponsor prior to the commencement of the activity. Keep in mind most sponsors have full-time jobs other than their work as sponsors. Please do not call a sponsor the day before an activity. You might be disappointed to find that the sponsor will not be able to sponsor that event for you.
- Sponsors will discuss the PINRA with you to determine whether it is CEU-worthy and how many CEUs can be awarded for the activity. They will send you a PINRA form to fill out.
- Attend the conference or seminar and collect the appropriate documentation. Send the sponsor proof of attendance once the activity is completed.
