KFWB - NEWS RADIO INTERVIEW

IDEX®
CALIFORNIA PRESENTATIONS ARE LINING UP THIS FALL! We already have five school presentations set, with a dozen more pending.
CCIDC gives certification presentations to schools, large design and architectural firms, as well as interior design associations
We would like to come to your school, design firm or chapter meeting to discuss the IDEX® California exam and certification for interior designers. Certification is the most important and only legally recognized credential in
California. We will provide an educational presentation on Certification and �how to� become a Certified Interior Designer for free.
We cover the history of Certification, what it takes to become a
Certified Interior Designer, and why it is important to a designer�s career. Our presentation can be done in as little as one hour, although one and a half hours is preferable, in order to allow enough time for
Q&A.
We can also add to this presentation our seminar on �Ethics and Business Practices� at the same time. Some of this material is also relevant to the IDEX California® examination.
There are no costs to participants and in the case of those who are already CIDs, they will receive CEU credit towards their continuing certification requirements.
