Answer 1

I don't think that actual RID test costs much at all. But getting to the level of being a certified interpreter will take a lot more than several classes in college.

I have been taking college night classes in ASL for two years, and have accumulated 16 credits (8 completed classes) and I am no where near being ready for the exam.

Check the colleges in your area and see what they offer.

Go for it, there is a shortage of qualified interpreters all over the country right now.

You have all this education and yet you're unable to get this answer to this question yourself??? You must have available the exact places that you need to contact in order to obtain this information. Do some legwork.
