STEP Workshop
STEP is an ASID program created for interior designers who plan to take the NCIDQ exam. Offered to ASID members and non members alike, STEP is a 2-1/2 day workshop given by professional instructors who guide participants in how to take the exam, what to expect , and how to study. The workshop is held by individual chapters (though the content is uniform for all workshops); the information below describes the Washington Metro Chapter's program.
Registration procedures have changed! Online (only) registration for all STEP workshops is managed by ASID headquarters staff, not by individual chapters.
