Courses in NZ
NZSTI courses:
NZSTI runs courses from time to time to prepare candidates for NAATI exams in both translation and interpreting. Success at NAATI exams will lead to NZSTI Membership or Affiliateship.
When such courses are confirmed they will be advertised to members directly and posted on the web site.
Important Note:
Recognition of translation and interpreting courses in New Zealand by NZSTI
NZSTI has a benchmarking process which may be applied to all new courses so that the society may ascertain the correct NZSTI membership level for graduates of those courses.
Once benchmarked, graduates of courses in NZ may be admitted into the society as either full Members or Affiliates.
Courses where an appropriate level of pass will normally grant full Member status are marked *
Courses where an appropriate level of pass will normally grant Affiliate status are marked **
Graduates of courses where no benchmarking has been undertaken yet will be admitted as Observers of the society.
NZSTI is formally affiliated with the Sign language Interpreters Association of New Zealand. Members of SLIANZ who join NZSTI are granted full member status.
