NCIDQ EXAM PREP COURSES
NEW FOR 2026!
“When I was studying for my exams, the study resources that were available to me were expensive, rigid, and difficult to understand. I knew that interior designers deserved something different, something better! And that’s why I founded Design Success Network.” - Julianne J Peters, NCIDQ
What’s Included
Our courses are not about memorization. We focus on understanding how concepts connect, how decisions cascade from one design phase to the next, and how CIDQ expects you to reason through design problems.
FOUR MONTHS ACCESS - course will be available through the end of April. Special discount for Spring 2026!
Expert Video Lessons released weekly, with step-by-step explanations and practice question explanations
Practice Assessments in every module to check yourself as you go, written specifically for the current exam format
Live Monthly Study Sessions with a certified instructor(recorded if you can’t attend live or want to rewatch)
Online Community Access to connect with other test-takers, share strategies, and stay motivated - always free!

The course is led by Julianne J. Peters, NCIDQ, an award-winning designer and educator with over 10 years of experience in architecture and interior design. Julianne is the founder of Design Success Network and an adjunct professor teaching design and architecture at multiple universities.
