Professional Development
Understanding the value of continuing education and research has been the mainstay of IIDA since its inception. Educated practitioners make informed, safe, and creative decisions, which affect us all. Educational programs serve as a creative outlet to promote awareness regarding pertinent issues within the practice of Interior Design.

NCIDQ Study Group
The National Council for Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ) serves to identify to the public those interior designers who have met the minimum standards for professional practice by passing the NCIDQ Examination. The core purpose of NCIDQ is to protect the health, life safety and welfare of the public by establishing standards of competence in the practice of interior design.
To support our members in the pursuit of certification, we offer study groups twice a year for those studying for their NCIDQ (Please check calendar for date/time).
IIDA Headquarters provides exam reimbursement through the form of an annual drawing. Once you pass all 3 exams you can apply for the scholarship. An IIDA Intermountain member has been awarded exam reimbursement every year since our chapter was founded – this year that person could be you!
Twice a year the IIDA Intermountain Chapter will host an NCIDQ kick off dinner to connect test takers with professionals who have recently passed the exam. We also have the most current study materials to lend to the study group. If you would like to join please get in touch with our VP of Professional Development, Summer Hansen: professionaldevelopment@iida-intermountain.org
