What to Expect


The IDIX Exam is where interior design becomes real-world construction documents and implementation

This course is designed to help you bridge the gap between design ideas and project management by focusing heavily on construction documents, building systems integration, coordination, specifications, accessibility, and life safety — exactly as outlined in the CIDQ 2026 Blueprint.

This is not a memorization course.


The course follows a structured weekly calendar running from January through March (or July through September), keeping you organized and focused throughout the entire study process. Built-in catch-up time and lighter weekends are intentionally included to help you stay consistent without burning out.

No guessing what to study. No jumping randomly between topics.

Every lesson is simplified into clear explanations, practical examples, diagrams, construction scenarios, and application exercises designed specifically around how the NCIDQ Exam asks questions.
