Interior designers are qualified by education, experience and examination. In 23 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, practitioners must meet certain requirements to be registered or licensed as interior designers.
All ASID members agree to abide by the Society's Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct. ASID Professional members have passed a national qualifying examination administered by the National Council for Interior Design Qualification.
Completion of the NCIDQ Examination recognizes that an individual has met minimum competency standards for the practice of interior design. Passage of the exam is a requirement for licensure in all NCIDQ member jurisdictions. The exam also serves as a qualifier for professional membership within interior design organizations and, for non-affiliates, represents a voluntary individual accomplishment.
Based on the Interior Designer's Body of Knowledge, qualified Interior Designers will display appropriate understanding in the following areas:
- Human Environment Needs
- Interior Construction, Codes, and Regulations
- Design Products and Materials
- Professional Practice
- Communication
"Interior Designers are licensed in many states. Passage of the NCIDQ exam is a requirement for licensure on all NCIDQ member jurisdictions."
