CALENDAR OF TRAINING WORKSHOPS

The National Association for Interpretation provides a variety of training opportunities beyond regional workshops, the national workshop and international conference. The national office schedules and conducts several training workshops each year, at the headquarters office in Fort Collins and in other locations.

Certified Interpretive Trainers also provide a number of Certified Interpretive Guide and Host workshops. These courses are set up by the individual instructor and not by the national office. They are listed on this site as a service to the profession and CITs. Please contact the individual instructor for any information pertaining to the CIG workshops.

Click on the date or location of each workshop for more information. For information on certification categories and requirements, please visit Certifications At A Glance page.

Please register for workshops as early as possible. Workshops that do not meet minimum numbers within 30 days of the date of the workshop may be cancelled, so it is critical that you register early.
