Currently working with the Deaf person who has CI offered to interpret for me and our instructor only if the certified interpreters are not available. He graduated from Gallaudet a year ago or two. He is a nice guy!

Hi there,
Yes you are right. It is appropriate for us to decline someone's (not qualified interpreter(s))offering to interpret. Yes I can understand someone is trying to help that we appreciate but we expect professional interpreters.
Thanks for sharing with us

I understand. I like having a professional interpreter without any misunderstanding or miscommunicating.
Hi, thanks for visiting my site. I am hard of hearing and often when the interpreter is not available, I am asked to help. I remind each parties that I am not a certified interpreter but I will help. If its a legal issue or anything important that requires certified interpreter, I often decline.
