Continuing Education Units

October 2008
IDCW ‘s annual Continuing Education Unit (CEU) is yet to be announced. Continuing education is critical to the ongoing success of the practicing interior designer. Many of the states or provinces that have laws regulating the practice of interior design and/or the use of a title require continuing education as a condition of renewal. Although Washington is not currently one of these states, we want to keep our design community learning. Look for your invitation in September!
