Studying endlessly and passing all three sections of the NCIDQ is a huge accomplishment, but it isn’t the end of a designer’s learning. Shortly after you get licensed, registered, or join ASID or IIDA, you’ll need to begin getting CEU credits for continuing education requirements. If you’re in a state where it isn’t required, you’re alright for now, but it may soon be. I’ve gathered a short list of free on-line, IDCEC pre-approved, interior design continuing education providers. If you don’t need them now, keep this list for later. If you practice in a smaller town, or an area where there aren’t very many local opportunities for CEU credits (like me), you’ll really appreciate the chance to get some free credits on-line.
