About IDEX California®

The IDEX California® is the exam for achieving certification, the highest standard for interior designers in the state.

Carol Lamkins, CID, CMKBD, is one of the founding members of CCIDC’s IDEX California® Task Force who created and verified the exam.  She is active in the on-going review and updating of the exam.

CCIDC, the interior design certification board, requested CLCID, the non-profit legislative coalition, create an exam preparation class inclusive of ALL of the contents of the IDEX California®.  Carol Lamkins took the challenge on behalf of CLCID.  The Original IDEX CA Prep Class© reflects the directive of CCIDC and was presented prior to the first IDEX California® in the spring of 2009.  It is the ORIGINAL and is the first Authorized Partner with CCIDC-IDEX California®.

The Original IDEX CA Prep Class© is the only prep class that supports interior design legislative efforts with its profits.
