Professional members of ASID must pass rigorous acceptance standards which includes a combination of accredited design education and/or full-time work experience, and passing of a two-day accreditation examination (National Council for Interior Design Qualification – NCIDQ). ASID promotes professionalism in interior design services and products for the workplace and home. To keep up with the unique needs of its members, ASID conducts independent research on topics related to the practice and business of the profession. ASID designers receive the most current information about appropriate materials, technology, building codes, government regulations, flammability standards, design psychology and product performance.
