What is the NCIDQ?

Good Morning! How is the de-cluttering and organizing going? I am sure you are all de-cluttered and organized by now! lol

I thought I would share this with you. Some of you may know if you are in the industry, but some of you may not know. The following is taken from the Interior Design Practicum Workbook, by Pamela E.B. Henly.

"The National Council for Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ) was formed in 1972. The NCIDQ was created to establish minimum competency standards for the interior design profession. The NCIDQ established a certification exam to test these standards and the knowledge and skills interior designers need to posess in order to perform at a minimum professional level."

"Certification indicates to the public that interior design professionals have met an acceptable standard of professional education and experience, and that they can demonstrate a competent level of skill in key areas."

"Licensure also enlightens the public about the scop or the interior design profession and acknowledges the difference between an interior decorator and a Certified Interior Designer."

This is the bare bones of what the NCIDQ certification exam is about. Only 9 short weeks! Wow! Time flies when you are having fun studying! After the NCIDQ exam, my study partner Amanda, wants to take the LEED exam. I will talk about that another time. So long for now - gotta get my day started! Keep on organizing and de-cluttering.

Happy Tuesday! :)
