is it still worth registering with the NRPSI in current situation?

the membership costs £200 a year,and as we all know,most if not all "customers" now use agencies to hire interpreters,instead of directly contacting them via NRPSI.

I've recently passed DPSI and would like to know if it's still worth paying the not-so-cheap annual fee to the NRPSI?

what other benefits does being on this register have for a freelance DPSI holder?
do agencies care about... See more

do agencies care about NRPSI membership at all?

all thoughts and advices appreciated! ▲ Collapse

NRPSI vs. ProZ Apr 10, 2014

In my opinion, it is definitely worth registering with ProZ but not with NRPSI. I have never heard of NRPSI before until I have read your post. ProZ is international. NRPSI is only national (UK).

NRPSI vs ProZ?! Apr 10, 2014

@ Atil: These two are two different things. NRPSI is for interpreters and ProZ is for translators mainly.


@Mira66: I would say that it depends on where you live exactly. There are areas in UK which still work with interpreters from the NRPSI.
You should check the market and see if anyone is requesting you to be on the register. If you do work for agencies, then it's no point being on the register as the agencies won't ask you that.

Being on the register is somehow a proof that you are qualified, or at least this is what you can show to people in doubt(if you work with private companies for example).
I don't know what benefits you may have there.

My advice would be to try and become a member of ITI or similar associations, because I believe that you will get more benefits from there (like insurance, CPD). And you can leave NRPSI as a second option when you earn enough to afford it. ▲ Collapse
