ASL courses offered include ASL 1-6, Non-Manual Markers, Classifiers, Semantics, Visual-Gestural Communication, ASL/Deaf Folklore and Literature, ASL Linguistics, Deaf Culture, and Numbers and Fingerspelling.

Overview of Department The Interpreter Education Program at Central Piedmont Community College is focused on preparing learners to work as ASL-English interpreters in a variety of settings and contexts. ASL instruction allows learners to either take ASL to satisfy modern language requirements of other programs, complete a certificate in Basic ASL Communication and/or complete an Associate's Degree in ASL-English Interpreting. The Central Piedmont Interpreter Education Program is founded on the belief that Deaf people constitute a linguistic and cultural minority group where ASL is a central indigenous language used by members of the Deaf community. Instructors encourage students to acquire and master ASL both through classroom instruction and diverse contact within the Deaf Community. The program uses the approach that interpreters are allies within the Deaf Community and that interpreting is a complex cognitive process. We recognize that not all deaf people use ASL and thus, we encourage students to broaden their competence and expertise through on-going association with a variety of Deaf persons and a commitment to life-long learning. Students who graduate from the program are prepared to apply for a provisional license with the State of NC and/or to take the EIPA to work in k-12 settings.
