NCIDQ STUDY MATERIALS
The Council for Interior Design Qualification (CIDQ) provides, at no charge, examples of exam content to demonstrate the format and functionality of the NCIDQ exam at their website.
Our Chapter hosts an NCIDQ Study Series, typically twice a year, and can organize study groups in our City Centers based upon member interest. For more information regarding local study opportunities, please email our VP of Professional Development.
There are also third-party companies providing quality study services. In our NCIDQ Study Series, you can get discounted access to QPractice - a top rated provider of comprehensive study materials and groups. Their website offers recommended study schedules, practice exams, videos, webinars, and more. Another third-party resource is QPrep which offers workshops that help designers prepare themselves primarily for the Prac 2.0 section of the NCIDQ Exam.
