Description

The Qpractice NCIDQ Exam Guide, 3rd Edition, includes chapters curated from CIDQ's list of verified references. We carefully selected the content relevant to the current exam blueprints, easy to understand with even more illustrations, and organized it to cover the key NCIDQ Exam topics. Includes an illustrated guide to the 2018 International Building Codes, the version used on the exam.

The NCIDQ Exam is not a test of any single book but the industry's common body of knowledge — your knowledge of tasks and skills essential for work as an interior designer. The best background for the exam is varied work experience throughout all design phases. In addition, you need a deep understanding of how to create spaces that are not only beautiful but functional and safe.

But not all designers are exposed to many practice areas, especially early in their careers. So it's good to review and reinforce your knowledge in areas where you have less experience. That's where the Qpractice NCIDQ Exam Guide helps you excel.

Even if you're not a reader, you can have your computer or tablet read the chapters aloud instead. Improve your comprehension by using the reader tools for highlighting, taking notes, and making digital flashcards. Most importantly  — your downloaded book does not expire, and you can authorize the book on up to 2 computers and two mobile devices at a time and update it as necessary.
