ASID/FASID/Allied/Associate
ASID Appellations – What do they represent?
ASID membership eligibility requires that Allied and Professional members complete an established minimum of interior design education. The ASID professional track provides a pathway for Allied Members to advance to Professional membership. Once achieving specific years of work experience, Allied Members can take the NCIDQ Examination and upon passage, can advance to ASID Professional Member status.
NAME of Designer, ASID
ASID after the name of the design practitioner marks professional membership status. This is the highest level of ASID membership and is reserved for those who have completed an accredited educational program and equivalent work experience in interior design and have successfully passed the National Council for Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ) examination.
NAME of Designer, FASID
FASID stands for Fellow Member of ASID. Fellowship is the highest honor the Society can bestow on its members. Elevation to fellowship not only acknowledges the achievements of the designer as an individual but also recognizes before the public and the profession a model interior designer who has made a significant contribution to interior design and society.
NAME of Designer, Allied ASID
