NCIDQ

NCIDQ states:  

The core purpose of NCIDQ is to protect the health, life safety and welfare of the public by establishing standards of competence in the practice of interior design. 

The National Council for Interior Design Qualification serves to identify to the public those interior designers who have met the minimum standards for professional practice by passing the NCIDQ Examination.  

NCIDQ continually updates the examination to reflect expanding professional knowledge and design development techniques. NCIDQ seeks the acceptance of its examination as a universal standard by which to measure the competency of interior designers to practice as professionals.  

ASID has a strong commitment to the protecting the health safety and welfare of the public. Passage of NCIDQ is a requirement for achieving professional membership status with ASID.  

NJASID, through our national headquaters, offers STEP workshops to help prepare our members for the NCIDQ examination. In 2009 NJASID developed a program consisting of a study guide, book list and practicum workshop available to all Allied members who are studying for NCIDQ. It is our commitment to helping our members obtain the knowledge to be successful in meeting the standards for professional practice by passing the NCIDQ exam.
