This page lists Alabama's open K-12 educational interpreter jobs and covers the state license, employers, and pay facts you need to get hired.

An ALBIT license or permit

Alabama regulates school interpreters through its general interpreter licensing law. Under rule 488-X-1-.06, the Alabama Licensure Board for Interpreters and Transliterators (ALBIT) requires a license from anyone who interprets for pay in a public, private, or educational setting, and you renew it each year.

ALBIT issues two main credentials:

  • License. You qualify with RID certification, BEI Master or Level V, or an EIPA performance score of 4.0 to 5.0 plus the EIPA written test and college degrees. A licensee can interpret in any appropriate setting.
  • Renewable permit. You qualify with an EIPA score of 3.0 to 3.9, or BEI Advanced or Level 3 or 4, plus a passed RID-approved or board-approved ethics or written knowledge exam. Permit holders stay out of legal settings and send in 2.0 board-approved CEUs by March 15 each year.

The initial fee is $225 for a license and $175 for a permit.

If you hold no approved credential yet, a non-renewable permit lets you work in limited situations for one year. You apply with three letters from licensed interpreters who verify your skill level. Students in a formal interpreter training program can interpret in a school for up to 16 weeks on an Apprentice Permit, with their mentor on site and in view.

Schools and AIDB

The State Board's special education rules, chapter 290-8-9, list interpreting among the related services a student's IEP can include. The rules define it to cover sign language interpreting, oral and cued language transliteration, and transcription services such as CART.

The Alabama Institute for Deaf and Blind (AIDB) runs the Alabama School for the Deaf on its Talladega campus, along with ten regional centers in cities from Huntsville to Mobile. Its outreach program sends staff across the state to observe classrooms and join IEP meetings for deaf and hard of hearing students in public schools. AIDB takes job applications through its careers portal.

Pay

The Bureau of Labor Statistics counted 310 interpreters and translators working in Alabama in May 2025. Their mean annual wage was $53,740, and the median was $46,130. That count mixes spoken-language and sign language interpreters across all industries. For a K-12 comparison, interpreters and translators employed by elementary and secondary schools nationwide averaged $61,020 that year.

Related school jobs

Rule 290-3-3-.24 sets the preparation standards for Alabama teachers of the deaf and hard of hearing, grades P-12. A speech-language pathology program under rule 290-3-3-.38 requires a master's degree and a 400-clock-hour supervised internship.
