The Cued Language Transliterator Professional Education Series (CLTPES) is a transliterator training program designed by Earl Fleetwood and Melanie Metzger, PhD. These courses have been approved by the American Council on Education for undergraduate- and graduate-level credit. These courses are offered through Language Matters, Inc.
The CLTPES evolved out of the Cued Speech Transliterator Summer Training Program at Gallaudet University.
The courses in the CLTPES must be attended in order. Proof of attendance of prerequisite courses is required to register for later courses in the series.
