Opportunity description
Considering a career in the outdoor industry?
The National Association for Interpretation (NAI) is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit professional organization whose certification program is intended to:
- Help people new in the field demonstrate they have what it takes to make interpretation their career.
- Help those who have been interpreters for some time demonstrate that they have gained the experience, and collected the knowledge, skills, and abilities that make them accomplished professionals in our field.
Sound intriguing? NAI provides material for exploring if certification is a good fit, including FAQ pages such as “Why Certification?” and a general Certification FAQ page.
NAI offers the Certified Interpretive Guide™ (CIG™) certificate and Certified Interpretive Host™ (CIH™) certificate, which are designed for those new to the field or those who need a refresher in the basics of interpretation and customer service. Many agencies use these certificates as required or preferred qualifications for open positions.
