WASHINGTON, DC - The National Council for Interior Design Qualification's (NCIDQ) Interior Design Experience Program (IDEP) fee is increasing this year. Beginning July 1, 2008, the IDEP fee will increase to $85 per installment. This fee will apply to everyone regardless of their program start date.
IDEP is a monitored, documented experience program administered by NCIDQ for entry-level interior designers. IDEP assists entry-level interior designers in obtaining a broad range of quality professional experience. The program provides a structure for the essential transition between formal education and professional practice, recognizing the differences between classroom and workplace.
IDEP provides a complete and balanced "curriculum" for the first years of work after graduation. It targets critical experience areas for the professional interior designer in any speciality area. Two or three years of participation is required depending on the length of your design education. IDEP helps prepare you for the NCIDQ Examination and licensure/registration. It builds on your professional network through mentorship and greater workplace participation.
For more information on IDEP and becoming a mentor or supervisor, view our IDEP brochure at www.ncidq.org.
NCIDQ® is an organization of regulatory boards and provincial associations in the United States and Canada whose core purpose is to protect the health, life safety and welfare of the public by establishing standards of competence in the practice of interior design.
