endorsed continuing education courses

All IDEC Academy endorsed continuing education courses are IDCEC approved, offering credit for professional membership requirements in IIDA and IDC as well as many state licensing mandates. Be sure to check with your specific organization for specific compliance requirements. IDEC Academy endorsed courses are also reviewed a second time by an IDEC member educator committee to ensure a quality learning experience.

The IDEC Academy promotes the value and dissemination of education that continues beyond the traditional higher learning of interior design professionals so that all may be inspired, protected and served by the environments in which they work, live and play.
