STEP - NCIDQ
Exam Preparation
ASID has long recognized the key
role that the NCIDQ examination plays in design practitioners' career
plans. Passage of this rigorous test signifies the hallmark of
professionalism in the interior design community, and alerts the public
to the expertise and experience of the designer who has met this
challenge. To that end, ASID created the STEP program to provide a
broad perspective of the issues and information pertinent to the NCIDQ
exam.
The STEP workshop is periodically conducted nationwide and is comprised
of 20 hours of instruction over a 2 1/2-day period. Participants have
the opportunity to experience practice exams patterned after the newest
NCIDQ and, with the guidance of experienced instructors, determine
which areas require further preparation. Workshop participants
are provided with a comprehensive workbook that includes practicum
exercises and multiple-choice sections similar to those in the NCIDQ
exam. These practice tests are administered and thoroughly reviewed
during the workshop. The workbook also includes helpful practice exams
that participants may take home with them.

MEMBER CENSUS |
|
What
You Need to Know!
You may recall that in her
remarks at CLC, ASID President, Sari Graven mentioned
that one of the major initiatives for the Society in FY2010 will be to
gather information about ASID designers' practice and business.
We are calling this initiative the ASID Member Census.
Why Is ASID Conducting the Census?
During the strategic planning process last
year, ASID leaders determined that the Society needed more complete
information on all its practitioner members in order to:
-
More fully and accurately
represent ASID designers' interests to decision-makers, the media, the
public, and potential partners, sponsors and advertisers
-
Provide programs, resources
and services that meet the needs of all members
When Is the Census Being
Conducted?
The Census will be launched in late October 2009 and will be carried
out throughout fiscal year 2010.
How Will the Census Be Conducted?
Our goal is to count every practitioner member. To increase our
success of meeting that goal, we will be conducting the Census in
several phases:
-
The first phase will be an
e-mail invitation to all practitioner members we have e-mail addresses
for, requesting that they go online and complete the Census
questionnaire.
-
The next phase will involve
you-the chapter leaders. We are looking to you to help us by
reaching out to your members who do not respond to the e-mail
invitation. Each month, beginning in November, we have selected
four chapters to focus on (see schedule on next page). In that month,
we need you to e-mail or phone members, and/or distribute Census
questionnaires at your meetings, to encourage each member to complete
the Census.
-
After the chapter has
exhausted its efforts to reach each member, staff at ASID headquarters
will again attempt to contact any members who have not yet
responded.
Will the Census Data Be
Shared with Chapter Leaders?
The Census data will be stored in the ASID
membership database as part of the member's record. Chapters will
be able to use the data for their members to assist in their planning
and marketing efforts.
