ReferencesNCIDQ does not intend for you to purchase and read all of the materials listed here. Since most of the information tested in the examination pertains to a common body of knowledge (generic to the practice of interior design) and because the examination is practice-based, this additional information serves only as a supplement to your understanding of basic professional interior design knowledge. This list does not represent the only body of information to be used as study material. NCIDQ does not warrant or guarantee all information contained in these references. You are encouraged to supplement your education and experience by reviewing interior design resources and finding information in areas in which you may consider yourself to be less skilled or experienced. Although the list may include more than one reference that covers a content area, one such reference may be enough. You may also have resources available that are not on the list but will adequately cover the content area. Standard Forms and DocumentsA general familiarity with project forms, contractual agreements and construction documents is important throughout the profession. These forms are individually or jointly copyrighted by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) and the International Interior Design Association (IIDA), from which they may be obtained.
