What is the difference between ICDA interior designer and China interior designer certificate?

ICDA Interior Designer Certificate: Interior Designer Certificate issued by International (Hong Kong) Architectural Decoration Association Interior Design Association (ICDA).

ICDA is an overseas institution that conducted interior design training in Chinese mainland earlier, aiming to help non-professionals enter the interior decoration design industry through relatively systematic professional training. At present, this certificate has not been recognized by the relevant state departments, and can only be used as a reference for professional skills training. ?

There are two kinds of interior designer certificates in China:

1, the national professional qualification certificate of interior decoration designer issued by the Ministry of Labor and Social Security of People's Republic of China (PRC). ?

This certificate, issued by the Ministry of Labor and Social Security on behalf of the country, is the most legally effective and authoritative vocational qualification certificate in China at present, which is divided into five grades (level 1 to level 5).

2. Professional qualification certificate of interior designer issued by China Interior Decoration Association (CIDA). ?

This certificate is a certificate that CIDA is entrusted by the State Economic and Trade Commission (SETC) to evaluate the professional design ability of interior decoration design professionals. It is divided into four grades: senior interior designer, senior interior designer, interior designer and assistant interior designer, with high professional and technical content. ?

These two certificates and CIDA are completely different concepts. At present, the certificate issued by China Building Decoration Association (not China Interior Decoration Association) is authoritative in China and has legal design effect. Many tender drawings are stamped with certificates issued by the Construction Committee.

Both are expensive. The tuition fee of general training institutions is about 5000 yuan. Some schools offer pre-test remedial classes and so on. You can find a school that can register in a unified way.
