Points to Ponder:

 

▪ Sorenson in Chicago currently hires VRS interpreters who score an ISAS Level 4/5.

 

▪ Hamilton in Chicago currently hires VRS interpreters who score an ISAS Level 4/5.

 

▪ Pay scales for the Chicagoland interpreting agencies are based upon national certification or ISAS scores. 

 

▪ JAN 2009... New Law requires  ISAS I-3 and T-3 or higher in both tests to work as VRS interpreter.
