Accreditation
SATI offerd an accreditation examination to members and has done so since 1990. Currently (2011), some 240 of its 800 members are accredited. Several members are accredited in more than one trade or language, and the current total of accreditations is 390.
Members of SATI are encouraged to gain accreditation, but it is currently not required for membership. Accreditation is, however, required of members of the SATI executive committee and the executive committees of both formal and informal chapters of the Institute. Formal chapters are required to have a certain minimum number of accredited members. Only accredited members are allowed to vote at SATI's annual general meeting.
Corporate members who adhere to specific requirements set by the Institute may also become accredited.
