Academy
Understanding the value of continuing education and research has been the mainstay of IIDA since its inception. Educated practitioners make informed, safe, and creative decisions that affect us all. Educational programs serve as a creative outlet to promote awareness regarding pertinent issues within the practice of interior design.
IIDA accepts all Interior Design Continuing Education Council (IDCEC) approved courses. AIA/CES and USG/GBCI approved courses may be self-reported and will count towards the IIDA compliance requirement.
IIDA offers the opportunity to earn CEUs through events, webinars, and publications. You can also get CEUs through programs and events hosted by your local IIDA Chapter.
