The next question that most legislators ask is how an interior designer's skills can be measured. The answer in every profession is an examination. Without an appropriate examination, attempts for legislation usually stop. Finally, without an exam, the qualifications of the interior design profession would begin to diminish. Imagine if no mechanism existed to ensure the public that you were working at a minimally acceptable level.
Human beings are, after all, only human.
It is unlikely that many of us would find time to increase our learning and improve our knowledge. Over time, the level of qualifications within the profession would decrease and the profession would be greatly impacted. The public is protected and the professional standing of interior designers is increased, which in turn further assures the public by identifying more qualified practitioners through education, experience and examination. You can bet your career on it. St. N.W., Ste.
