Licensed Court Interpreters

Licensed Court Interpreters must complete 16 hours of continuing education during each two-year certification period.

The 16 hours of continuing education must include 4 hours of ethics. You can carry forward up to 8 hours of excess CE to your next certification period. Ethics hours cannot be carried forward. If you did not exceed your 16 hours of CE, you cannot carry anything forward.

Example:

• You are required to obtain 16 hours of CE, but you obtained 24 hours of approved CE for your 2024 renewal.
• A maximum of 8 of the excess hours of non-ethics\legislative update CE can be used towards your 2026 renewal as well.
• You must select the course and upload the certificate again so that it is attached to your 2026 online renewal application.

Refer to sections 4.3 and 9.7 of the JBCC Rules for additional details on CE requirements.
