The NCIDQ exam is more than a test—it’s an essential stepping stone in an interior designer’s career. NCIDQ certification is a badge of professionalism, illustrating a designer’s deep understanding of industry standards and practices, and certification can bring many benefits, including higher pay and better job opportunities.
NCIDQ certification is crucial for individuals and the collective design industry, too. In several states, certification is a prerequisite for interior designers to become licensed or registered—it’s a pivotal step in achieving wider recognition and independent practice rights for designers nationwide.
In short, getting certified is the key to your future, and the future of the profession.
Careful preparation is a must to ace the NCIDQ examination, which is no walk in the park. The exam includes three sections, each with its own unique characteristics and challenges.
IIDA is here to help you prepare—and propel you to the next level of your career.
In collaboration with Design Success Network, we’re offering a virtual NCIDQ test prep series that includes four sessions covering every part of the exam, along with general test-taking tips and study strategies.
Each session is a live, four-hour virtual teaching session, and provides exclusive access to Design Success Network’s resources and materials and a peer-to-peer study network.
