Continuing Education

CEU Education
Continuing education is critical to the ongoing success of the practicing interior designer. With the ever-changing application of technology and the introduction of new product standards and specifications, interior designers must constantly seek to gain additional knowledge. Many of the states or provinces that have laws regulating the practice of interior design and/or the use of a title require continuing education as a condition of renewal. ASID sponsors a wide range of Continuing Education Units (CEUs) in varying lengths and topics, all of which are evaluated in accordance with strict IDCEC Guidelines (The Interior Design Continuing Education Council). You do not have to be an ASID member to receive CEU credit for these courses.


STEP Program
STEP is an ASID program created for interior designers who plan to take the NCIDQ exam. Offered to ASID members and non-members alike, STEP is a 3 day workshop given by professional instructors who guide participants in how to take the exam, what to expect and how to study. For more details about the STEP workshop, See About STEP.

The STEP – Self–Testing Exercises for the Pre-professional work shop is traditionally offered January/ February prior to the Spring NCIDQ Exam and August/September for the October exam. Pre-professionals from all cities (i.e. Richmond, Baltimore, Orange County) are invited to apply. The class begins Friday 9:00 am to 6:30 pm and continues all day Saturday from 8:00 am to 6:30 pm and Sunday from 8:00 am to 3:30 pm. Class size is between 10 and 15 students. Fees for ASID members are $325.00 and nonmembers’ fees are $445.00.
