Design Myths and RealityFind an ASID Interior Designer
The ASID Credential
ASID membership eligibility requires that Allied and Professional members complete an established minimum of interior design education. The ASID professional track provides a pathway for Allied Members to advance to Professional membership* and each level of membership is a progressive step towards professionalism. Once achieving specific years of work experience, Allied Members can take the NCIDQ Examination and upon passage, can advance to ASID Professional Member status. As of January 2008, members are also required to take a minimum of 0.6 CEU’s to maintain their membership.
In addition, many states (and the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico) have helped to take the guess work out of finding a qualified designer by requiring a certain amount of education and experience and passage of the NCIDQ exam before a designer can become certified, registered or licensed in that state.
There is an added confidence in working with and ASID member. All members must agree to abide by the Society’s Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct. To maintain their membership, they are required to conduct themselves and their businesses ethically, always respectful of their clients, suppliers, the profession and their colleagues. At all times, members must keep the health, safety and welfare of the public in mind when designing a space. You can read or download the ASID Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct at the ASID National site.
If you are experiencing a problem working with an ASID member, follow the Procedures for Filing an Ethics Complaint, found at the ASID National site.
