The Advanced School of Translators and Interpreters (ASTI) went into operation in 1985. ASTI remained the sole establishment of the University Centre until 1993 when by decree N° 92/074 of 13 April 1992 it was transformed into a full fledged University. From its inception, the school has remained the lone government Institution in Cameroon of national and international standards that trains professional translators and interpreters for the public and private sectors. Since its inception ASTI has admitted and trained professional translators and interpreters at the levels of Masters and Postgraduate diploma respectively. Over the years, the institution has gained prominence and repute through the quality of translators and interpreters it grooms. Its products are well baked and equipped with sound professional acumen. The quality services rendered by ASTI products in both public and private sectors in Cameroon and abroad point to the seriousness of its mission. Its comprehensive and astutely organized programmes are taught by a team of competent and professional translators and interpreters in the country.
