In lieu of the Associate's Degree, an additional two (2) years of directly related, applied, practical work experience may be substituted for a total of eight (8) years' experience.
For at least three (3) of the six (6) years' experience, translating and/or transcribing, and gisting shall be the primary duties.

o Experience requirements signify full-time experience. Part-time work is to be calculated to equate to full-time for labor category qualification purposes. For example, "two (2) years' experience in customer service" means two (2) years working on a full-time basis (on average forty (40) hours per week) with customer service as the primary duty in that work. Because many language professionals work part-time or hold multiple jobs at the same time, experience should be calculated into full-time equivalents; for example, four (4) years working on average twenty (20) hours per week is the equivalent of two (2) years full-time work experience. Time spent receiving training or primarily working as a manager shall not be included when calculating experience.
