Abstract
The relationship between interior design education and practice is a strong one. It is well recognized that competence in interior design is acquired and verified through a sequence of education, experience, and examination. The objective of this evaluation is to review material relating to this three–step process. Included in the review are articles on competencies, the updated definition of interior design, the Foundation for Interior Design Education Research (FIDER) standards, the National Council for Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ)Educational Testing Service (ETS) job analysis study, the proposed internship development program, the NCIDQ examination, and continuing education requirements. Information presented herein provides a comparison of subject content and identifies a common body of knowledge in interior design. By synthesizing this material, a clear picture of the relationship between education and practice is formed. It is through this close integrated relationship that the future is shaped and parameters of the profession are established.
