So, you’ve collected all of your required work experience and are ready to apply to the NCIDQ exam, but - you need someone to verify your work experience hours! If your direct supervisor cannot verify your work hours for you, then you are able to have a sponsor sign off on your hours. To begin this process with Design Success Network, simply schedule a time to virtually meet with Julianne J Peters, NCIDQ below!

Paraphrased from CIDQ.org…

“A Work Verification Sponsor is a qualified design professional who agrees to review a candidate’s professional progress and affirm interior design work experience hours. A sponsor may or may not work within the same firm as the candidate. Frequent and ongoing conversations are encouraged between candidates and supervisors/sponsors to ensure candidates have well-rounded experience, including the design categories listed below. A supervisor/sponsor can sign off on current or previous work.”
