Your Ticket to Interior Design Licensing

If you want to take the interior design licensing exam, you need to get an interior design degree. In the very least, you must complete a two year certificate in interior design and a designated amount of work experience in order to qualify for the interior design licensing exam. The amount of work experience and education you need are conversely related. Those with a four year interior design degree need less required work experience than those with a two year interior design degree in order to become a licensed interior designer. To get more information on the requirements for licensing in your state, you can refer to the National Council for Interior Design Qualifications (NCIDQ at www.ncidq.com).
