From the latest NCIDQ newsletter;

“NCIDQ is committed to developing examinations that identify interior design practitioners who have demonstrated a level of competence sufficient to practice independently while protecting the public health, safety and welfare.”

So I guess those who wish to practice within a complex and multi-dimensional professional environment with due respect of those allied professionals are just S.O.L.  I know exactly where this is coming from and where this is going and I do not like it.

All I can do is assume that the AIA approves of this direction……..yeah right.
