IDCEC facilitates consistency in continuing education policies, processes, criteria and guidelines. They are based on continuing education industry standards. The IDCEC course review system assures jurisdiction regulation boards, membership organizations and interior design professionals that instructors are qualified to lead courses, course content is relevant to professional interior design practice, course quality is high, and teaching methodologies are appropriate. IDCEC core members include: ■American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) ■Interior Designers of Canada (IDC) ■Interior Design Educators Council (IDEC) ■International Interior Design Association (IIDA) For over a decade these organizations have come together to mutually set policy for quality continuing education within interior design. To date, over 4000 IDCEC-approved continuing education courses have been taken by scores of interior design professionals in both the United States and Canada who seek to fulfill their continuing education requirements for their professional organizations and jurisdictional mandates. Requirements for Presenting the IDCEC Course IDCEC requires all CE providers to make an administrative commitment to maintain their programs from submission through to their completion and to support the learner services needed to ensure an effective learning environment. Attendance Record The CE provider and/or sponsoring organization must track attendance (often done by sign in sheet) at the event. A copy of the attendance record should be maintained for at least 4 years. This list may be needed in the event that questions or issues arise at a later date(usually around incomplete personal files or inaccurate transcripts at the time of an audit.) Send a copy of the attendance record to course's managing IDCEC organization. A sample Attendance record which indicates all required fields is available on the IDCEC website. Certificate of Completion Immediately after the course, a signed certificate or exit letter must be provided to all participants upon successful completion. Do not distribute these certificates before the course is complete. This verification of completion is for the learner's personal records as immediate proof of attendance and may be referenced by the learner in the event of an audit by their professional association or regulatory jurisdiction. A sample certificate which indicates all required fields is available on the IDCEC website. Course Evaluation Form The CE provider Von Morris Corp. and /or sponsoring organization must distribute a Course Evaluation Form and collect them from learners at the end of the course. Send a copy of the Course Summary Form to course's managing IDCEC organization. NCIDQ CE Registry Participant Forms The NCIDQ Continuing Education Registry (formerly known as NCIDQ CE Tracking) is a database that tracks individual participation in IDCEC approved CE courses. Individuals can access their CE course history anytime through the Registry. They can also print transcripts to include with renewal applications to regulatory agencies and professional associations. Participation in NCIDQ's CE Registry is not required. This is an optional service that many interior designers find useful as a way to consolidate all their CE information in one place for a nominal fee. You have an important role for those who choose to use this service. Upon successful completion of your course, this NCIDQ form should be populated with course information, signed by the instructor/sponsoring organization and distributed upon request to learners who participate in the NCIDQ Transcript Registry Service. Follow up with IDCEC IDCEC requires that a complete Attendee Record (which differs from a registration list in that successful participation/attendance was verified) and a summary of evaluations (includes averaged rating on each question on the evaluation form along with a transcript of open ended comments) is shared with the course's managing IDCEC organization following each instance of the course. This information is incorporated in your course's record and monitored by IDCEC. The Course Summary Form should be used to provide this information to your managing organization. Follow up with NCIDQ The CE provider Von Morris and/or sponsoring organization must ensure that the following method is selected and carried out as follows for those participants who rely on NCIDQ to maintain their CE records. Individual – In this case, Von Morris or Sponsoring Organization instructs interested participants to submit their completed NCIDQ CE Registry Participant Form with their payment directly to NCIDQ. A copy of the certificate of completion may be submitted with the form provided by Von Morris at completion of class. |
