Is NCIDQ part of the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID), the International Interior Design Association (IIDA) or Interior Designers of Canada (IDC)?
No. NCIDQ is an independent, not-for-profit organization. While several associations serve the needs of interior design professionals, NCIDQ exists to protect the public by setting the bar for professional competency and administering the NCIDQ Examination, which focuses solely on interior design issues that affect the public health, safety and welfare.
