Hi Carrie: C.I.D. membership is not necessary. They do not provide “certification” or the title “certified interior designer”. The only way you can obtain certification is through a long process that includes graduating from a CIDA-accredited interior design college, obtain verifiable experience from a licensed professional and pass the NCIDQ licensing exam. NCIDQ stands for National Council for Interior Design Qualification.
