NCIDQ and IDEP

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 is working towards a full certification program.

The Interior Design Experience Program (IDEP) is a monitored, documented experience program administered by the National Council for Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ) for entry-level interior designers.

NCIDQ also tracks official Continuing Education Units (CEUs) taken by Interior Design Professionals to continually improve their knowledge and skills. NCIDQ also offers CEU courses as monographs.
