The classes help prepare you for all three sections of the examination:

• Principles and Practice of Interior Design
• Contract Development and Administration
• Schematic and Design Development

This exam is the internationally accepted test for qualifying interior designers and is recognized by IIDA and ASID as a requirement for professional membership. It is also recognized by states, including Texas, that have passed design registration acts as part of the license and registration requirement. NCIDQ test dates are every April and October.

Thanks to NCIDQ there is now a webpage that will help you explain just what you do to your friends and family. It is a model floor plan that by zooming in and clicking on one of the numbers, will tell you the applicable building codes that an Interior Designer would use in that location of the building. It is a great educational tool for students, the public, our legislators and even our families who do not understand what Interior Designers do! Please take a moment to share it with your friends and family!
