#6 Mary-Claire Brown | NCIDQ certification, studying, testing, why it’s important
This episode is a deep dive into NCIDQ certification. Mary-Claire completed her certification within the last couple of years, so she has a fresh perspective on the process.
She schooled me up on how to become certified, exam format, best practices for studying, and why it’s so important to consider NCIDQ as an interior designer.
If you’re considering NCIDQ certification or just need a resource to pass to others who are, you won’t want to miss this one. -
