Certified Interpretive Trainers: Current listing by state
The National Association for Interpretation certifies heritage interpreters and specialists in six categories. If you have questions about certification, please call Lisa Brochu, Program Director, toll-free in the U.S. at 888-900-8283 or by email at naiprograms@aol.com.

The Certified Interpretive Trainer (CIT) certification is for individuals responsible for training people in the interpretive field, whether in a university setting, for an agency or as a contractor. Please see our Certification Program At A Glance page for more information.

Trainers whose names are in bold/green are Certified Interpetive Trainers who are authorized to teach Certified Interpretive Guide courses on behalf of NAI. Trainers whose listings end in an asterisk(*) are also authorized to teach Certified Interpretive Host courses on behalf of NAI.

There are 350 records in this list. Last updated: Apr. 30, 2008
