About us
The Council for Interior Design Qualification (CIDQ) is the premiere certifying organization for interior design professionals. CIDQ develops and administers the three-part NCIDQ Examination, which tests interior designers’ knowledge of core competencies required for professional practice in the industry. The exam is based on CIDQ’s independent, comprehensive analysis of the profession and the daily practice of interior design in a range of settings. CIDQ continually updates the exam’s contents to ensure they reflect the most current skills required to design secure, functional and innovative interior spaces.

CIDQ’s official exam blueprints are the only resources that directly align with the NCIDQ Exam. External study materials—such as the IDRM—are not created or endorsed by CIDQ, which means their content may not fully match the structure or emphasis of the exam. If you’re preparing for the NCIDQ Exam, start with the source: Review CIDQ’s exam blueprints to ensure your study plan aligns with what’s actually tested. Your best preparation begins with the materials built for the exam. https://lnkd.in/gREKmREp
