What to Expect
IDPX Live BETA Course
Designed for students who want a focused, structured approach to preparing for the NCIDQ Interior Design Professional Exam (IDPX), this BETA course emphasizes the project management and construction administration responsibilities of interior design professionals.
The course focuses on feasibility studies, project scheduling and budgeting, contracts, bidding and procurement, permitting, construction processes, site observation, and project close-out, as outlined in the CIDQ 2026 Exam Blueprint.
At IDQSimplified, the emphasis is on understanding professional responsibilities, project procedures, and the decision-making processes that guide a project from initial feasibility through final completion.
All course materials remain available through October 31 for the Fall Session (or April 30 for the Spring Session), regardless of enrollment date, providing time for review and reinforcement before the exam.
Students who enroll after live sessions have begun will have access to recordings of previously completed classes, allowing them to catch up at their own pace while participating in the remaining scheduled sessions.
Your enrollment includes:
- Guided lessons aligned with the 2026 CIDQ Blueprint
- 2 Live Classes*
- 2 Live Office Hours Sessions
- 1 LIVE Final Exam Review Workshop
- Practice exercises and quizzes
- Progress Tests throughout the course
- Access to a private study group and email support throughout the course
As a BETA course, additional live classes may be added as the curriculum develops and student needs are evaluated.
Whether this is your first attempt or you're returning to strengthen your understanding after a previous exam attempt, the goal is the same:
Build confidence. Strengthen understanding. Pass the exam.
*Live sessions are recorded and made available for later viewing, including for students who enroll after the sessions have taken place.
