The Value of NCIDQ Certification ? NCIDQ Certificate holders have proven their expertise in understanding and applying current codes established to protect public health, safety, and welfare. ? Passage of the NCIDQ Examination is required for interior design licensure/registration in every regulated jurisdiction within the United States and Canada except California. It is the only examination recognized by these state and provincial regulators and therefore required for the practice of many types of interior design. Designers certified through the NCIDQ Exam gain wide industry visibility and recognition. ? The strenuous requirements of the NCIDQ Exam give clients and employers added confidence in the caliber of work from NCIDQ Certified interior designers. The exam covers seven areas that capture the core competencies of interior design: building systems, codes, construction standards, contract administration, design application, professional practice, and project coordination.
