About IDCEC

Interior Design Continuing Education Council

IDCEC, the Interior Design Continuing Education Council, is a consortium of professional organizations in the United States and Canada that coordinates continuing education approval activities.

The purpose of IDCEC is to promote lifelong learning for the interior designer; to serve as a central entity for the sharing of CEU information and registration; and to provide strategic planning for CEU programming and activity. IDCEC facilitates consistency in continuing education policies, processes, criteria and guidelines. They are based on continuing education industry standards.

The IDCEC course review system assures jurisdiction regulation boards, membership organizations and interior design professionals that instructors are qualified to lead courses, course content is relevant to professional interior design practice, course quality is high, and teaching methodologies are appropriate.

IDCEC core members include:

• American Society of Interior Designers (ASID)
• Interior Designers of Canada (IDC)
• International Interior Design Association (IIDA)

For over a decade these organizations have come together to mutually set policy for quality continuing education within interior design. To date, over 4000 IDCEC-approved continuing education courses have been taken by scores of interior design professionals in both the United States and Canada who seek to fulfill their continuing education requirements for their professional organizations and jurisdictional mandates.
