Do I have to be an individual member of NAI to take a certification class? An applicant must hold individual membership to apply at the member rate. Commercial or Institutional memberships cannot be applied toward certification. The reason for this policy is that certification is awarded to the individual and travels with them.

There are more specialized member benefits inside the member area, including access to previous Legacy articles, the Interpretunities jobs postings, the NAI Member Forum for member interaction, images you can use for your computer wallpaper, and much more.
What are NAI's regions and sections? Our association is divided into regions and sections to help members network with others who work near them or who work with similar subject-matter content. Each region and section produces periodical newsletters and organizes their own activities. Membership in regions and sections is a major benefit of belonging to the National Association for Interpretation.
