Continuous Learning
Interior designers are required to fulfil professional development requirements, in order to remain members in good standing with their provincial association, which is facilitated through the Interior Design Continuing Education Council (IDCEC).
IDC pays annual membership dues to IDCEC on behalf of IDC members where the provincial associations have and continue to collect IDC dues on our behalf. Access to the IDCEC system allows members to track and manage earned credits without further cost. Currently, that includes all provincial interior design associations except APDIQ in Quebec and ARIDO in Ontario, PIDIM in Manitoba, and IDNL in Newfoundland and Labrador. Those provincial associations do not collect IDC dues and therefore pay IDCEC on members’ behalf. All IDC members continue to have full access to the IDCEC system.
