As of October 19, 2008, the IDEX California®
will now be the only examination required
to fulfill the examination portion of the certification process in California. No longer will we require the combination of the CCRE and one of the three national examinations (CQRID, NCIDQ, NKBA).
IDEX California® is currently under development. IDEX stands for interior design examination.
The cost to take the IDEX California®
will be $300.00 plus a $75.00 testing center fee. It will be an online only examination and will be given for a month in the Spring (April/May) and a month in the Fall (October).
To take the IDEX California®, candidates will first have to
apply to become a CID in order to have their education or work experience verified. The minimum requirements to take the IDEX will be two years (40 Semester Units or 60 quarter credits) of interior design education (not including general subjects) or 5 years (9,000 hours) of diversified interior design working experience.
Passing the IDEX California® will not make you a CID, you will still have to meet one of the four codified categories. See How to Become a Certified Interior Designer.
