T he Council of Landscape ArchitecturalRegistration Boards (CLARB) recently

published a research paper on how landscapearchitects positively affect public welfare. Thefollowing is an executive summary of the paper.

BackgroundIn the interest of public health, safety andwelfare, the practice of landscape architecture islicensed in 50 U.S. states and three Canadianprovinces, requiring the demonstration ofcompetence through a combination ofeducation, experience and rigorousexamination.

Despite licensure’s emphasis on health andsafety, experience suggests that the rolelandscape architecture plays in advancing“public welfare” is poorly understood—to thedetriment of society and the profession. Theresults of this study provide a practical, newframework for understanding public welfare andhow the profession uniquely contributes to itsadvancement.

These findings have reignited an importantconversation on a poorly defined, understood,and appreciated area of the practice of landscapearchitecture that represents a substantial portionof its body of knowledge and application anddifferentiates it from other related disciplines.

Research Objective and MethodsThe primary objective of the research was todevelop a holistic, working definition of publicwelfare and to make explicit the major ways it isimpacted by the practice of landscapearchitecture.

The core research method was a review andanalysis of relevant literature and exemplarycase studies, supplemented by consultationswith an advisory group comprised ofprofessionals, academicians, and industryassociation leaders.

The findings were synthesized and presented ina foundation paper intended for use by a diverseaudience that includes legislators, politicaldecision-makers, practitioners, students,academics, allied professionals, and interestedmembers of the general public

Key FindingsThe concept of public welfare blends twofundamental ideas: the public realm and welfare orwell-being.

“Welfare” has maintained its current sense of“well-being” since Chaucer’s time. The idea of apublic realm emerged as a third order of society,separate from church and state, as theseinstitutions gradually ceded their once absoluteauthority. The concept gathered force during the16th century and continues to evolve today.

Public welfare rests on the well-being of thenatural world.

Public welfare in the context of landscapearchitecture means the stewardship of naturalenvironments and of human communities inorder to enhance social, economic,psychological, cultural and physicalfunctioning, now and in the future.

Landscape architecture impacts public welfare inseven distinct, observable ways.

1. Enhances environmental sustainability byresponding to development challenges withsolutions that involve sensitivity towardsnatural systems. At the site design levellandscape architects integrate sustainabilitymeasures into all designs. Their work protectsnatural systems ensuring that all communitymembers have access to common resources andare involved in active conservation.

2. Contributes to economic sustainability byassisting policy makers and others to improvethe marketability and long-term value of

The Council of Landscape ArchitecturalRegistration Boards (CLARB) has announcedchanges to the exam that will take affect withthe September 2012 administration of theLandscape Architect Registration Examination(L.A.R.E.).

Changes to the exam will include:

1. Five to four sections. - This modeststructural change will better align the contentof the L.A.R.E. with current practice, asdemonstrated in the 2010 Task Analysis study.For additional detail on equivalency betweenthe current and new exam, view the transitionchart.

Section 1 – Project and ConstructionManagement

Section 2 – Inventory and Analysis

Section 3 – DesignSection 4 - Grading, Drainage and

Construction Documentation

2. Full computer based testing - By December2012 all four sections will be delivered bycomputer to improve relevance, reliability, andaccessibility.

Meanwhile candidates are encouraged tocontinue taking the current exam, especiallythose that have already started the examprocess. Because the content that is currentlytested in Section D will be split betweenSections 3 and 4 in the new exam, candidatesalready in the exam process should completethe current exam to avoid losing credit forSections C, D or E.

New candidates are also encouraged to beginthe exam process as soon as possible to obtainlicensure. Obtaining licensure is an importantcareer goal that makes you a more marketableprofessional—particularly in challengingeconomic times. There is ample time tocomplete the current exam and becomelicensed prior to the transition to the new

exam in September 2012.

Additionally, completing the current exam hasfinancial benefits for current and newcandidates as well. The cost per section of thenew exam will go up because the costs mustbe spread across four sections instead of five.

CLARB has developed a set of FrequentlyAsked Questions to help candidates betterunderstand the changes and how to navigatethe transition process. For additionalinformation please contact CLARB at 571-432-0332 or visit their website at www.clarb.org.

On a related note, CLARB has selected PearsonVUE to be the official provider of the L.A.R.E.starting with the March 2012 multiple-choiceadministration. CLARB chose Pearson VUEbased on the testing provider’s ability toprovide a top level testing experience for examcandidates and because of the testing provider’sability to administer advanced item types thatwill be used in the new exam format forSections 3 and 4. Pearson VUE will not beginadministering Sections 3 and 4 until theDecember 2012 administration. °

Upcoming Changes to the

L.A.R.E.

L.A.R.E. Transition ChartFollowing best professional testing practices, CLARB conducts an analysis of the practice of landscape architecture every five to seven years to ensure that what is tested on the Landscape Architect Registration Exam (L.A.R.E.) accurately reflects the knowledge and skills required to practice landscape architecture. As a result of the 2010 task analysis study, the following changes to the L.A.R.E. will take affect starting with the September 2012 administration.

Structural Changes: Modest structural changes will take place to better align the content of the L.A.R.E. with current practice. The new exam will consist of four rather than five sections and will be administered starting in September 2012. The chart below summarizes how the content will be organized in the new exam and how the current sections translate to the new exam.

The current L.A.R.E. will be administered through June 2012.

The new L.A.R.E. will be administered beginning with the

Report on National Council ActivitiesBy John Cothron, Executive Director

The Tennessee Board of Architectural and Engineering Examinerscontinues to participate in meetings of the following national

regulatory councils: the National Council of ArchitecturalRegistration Boards (NCARB), the National Council of Examiners forEngineering and Surveying (NCEES), the Council of LandscapeArchitectural Registration Boards (CLARB), and the NationalCouncil for Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ). The nationalcouncils assist member boards by developing uniform nationalexaminations and model laws and regulations, among otherresponsibilities.

The following issues were discussed at the NCARB Annual Meetingand Conference in Washington, D.C. on June 22-25, 2011:

• Continuing Education: A resolution amending the continuingeducation guidelines in the NCARB Model Law and ModelRegulations passed. The major changes include:

o The provision for “Individually Planned Activities” wasremoved because these activities are difficult to evaluate;only “structured” activities are allowed.

o The definition of health, safety and welfare (HSW) wasrevised (the Model Regulations require that all hoursaddress HSW subjects).

o The term “Professional Development Unit” (PDU) waschanged to “Continuing Education Hour” (CEH). It wasfelt that the term “professional development” is overlybroad and could refer to non-HSW topics.

o If hours are disallowed in an audit, registrants are given 60days to remedy the deficiency (instead of 6 months).

o 12 HSW hours must be earned each calendar year (thusthe continuing education cycle may be different from thelicense renewal cycle for some boards).

o No carryover hours are allowed.

o The continuing education reciprocity provision wasdeleted, since the emphasis is on common standards ratherthan mutual acceptance.

The Tennessee Board is also discussing amending its continuingeducation rules for architects to more closely conform to the NCARBguidelines. Registrants will have an opportunity to comment on anyproposed changes at a future rulemaking hearing, should the Boarddecide to make any changes.

• Other Issues: Other issues discussed at the meeting includedchanges to the Architect Registration Examination (ARE), theIntern Development Program (IDP), and the BroadlyExperienced Architect (BEA) and Broadly Experienced ForeignArchitect (BEFA) programs. Additionally, the new NCARBCEO, Michael J. Armstrong, was introduced. Armstrong hasover two decades of experience in executive roles in non-profit,government, and for-profit organizations. He most recentlyserved as the Senior Vice President for Membership andOutreach Services at the International Code Council (ICC).Armstrong replaces Lenore M. Lucey, who served as NCARB’schief executive for over 14 years.

The following issues were discussed at the NCEES Annual Meetingin Providence, Rhode Island on August 24-27, 2011:

• Computer-Based Testing: A motion passed to approve a newpricing model for NCEES exams that will go into effect whenthe Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) and Fundamentals ofSurveying (FS) exams shift to computer-based testing inJanuary 2014. At this point, it is uncertain how this will affectfees paid by FE exam candidates in Tennessee.

• Industrial Exemptions: A motion passed to charge theUniform Procedures and Legislative Guidelines (UPLG)Committee with amending the Model Law to state that“Licensed engineers shall be in responsible charge of allengineering design of buildings, structures, products,machines, processes, and systems that can affect the health,safety, and welfare of the public.” This change is aimed ateliminating industrial exemptions, which exempt firms thatmanufacture products from requiring a P.E. to oversee theirdesign.

• Sustainable Building Design: A motion passed adopting anew position statement regarding the commissioning ofengineered systems: “It is the position of NCEES thatcommissioning of those systems that are engineered systemsfalls under the practice of engineering and must be performedunder the responsible charge of a professional engineer.” Also,the UPLG Committee was charged with incorporating thephrase “commissioning of engineered systems” into thedefinition of the practice of engineering in the Model Law.

• Engineering Education:

o Member boards voted against adopting an alternatepathway toward fulfilling the “master’s degree orequivalent” education requirement in the Model Law. Thisalternate pathway would have allowed candidates seekinga P.E. license to fulfill the education requirement via acombination of approved continuing educationcoursework, additional experience, and mentoring.

o The Model Law was amended by adding the following asan alternative path to licensure after 2020 (as analternative to the master’s or equivalent requirement):

A B.S. degree from an EAC/ABET-accredited programthat requires a minimum of 150 semester credit hours(must have at least 115 credit hours of math, science,and engineering, with at least 75 of the 115 hours inengineering) with 4 years or more of progressiveengineering experience.

The Tennessee Board has voted to oppose this change inthe Model Law, and is opposed to the “master’s orequivalent” requirement.

o A motion passed to charge a special committee withamending the Bylaws to create a standing Committee onEducation to work with ABET, implement the “master’s orequivalent” requirement, serve as a point of contact oncontinuing education issues, and oversee credentialsevaluations.

• Examination Policies and Procedures: Motions passed toprohibit those involved in exam development from teachingexam refresher courses within three years of serving on anexam committee or panel and to prohibit those who teachexam refresher courses from proctoring exams. A motion alsopassed developing two categories of exam irregularities. Thefirst are irregularities that will automatically be grounds forexam invalidation by NCEES (e.g., removing pages from anexam book, cell phone violations, and use of non-approvedcalculators), and the second are those for which any response isleft up to the member boards (including copying/collusioncases, failure to stop writing when time is called, beginning anexam before being instructed to do so, and writing outside theexam booklet).

• Task Forces: NCEES President Dale Jans, P.E., announced thecreation of five task forces for the coming year in addition tothe standing committees: Education (which will, in part, studythe need to harmonize continuing education requirementsamong jurisdictions), Member Board Administrators,Computer-Based Testing (which will begin considering what isneeded to convert the Principles and Practice of Engineeringexams to a computer-based format), Leadership, and PublicOutreach/Communications.

The following issues were discussed at the CLARB Annual Meetingin Chicago, Illinois on September 15-17, 2011:

• Determinants of L.A.R.E. Success Research Results: Thepreliminary results of a research project focused ondetermining key factors (education, experience, study habits,etc.) that affect a candidate’s success on the L.A.R.E. werepresented. The results indicate that some sections of the exammight be appropriate for candidates who are still in school,since experience was not a factor in passing these sections.The majority of jurisdictions supported administering selectedexams to students, although further study is needed before thiscould be implemented. A final report will be issued in thecoming months.

• L.A.R.E. Transition: Details of the transition of the L.A.R.E.to a computer-based exam administered in four sections werepresented. The last administration of the paper-and-pencilgraphic exams will be in June 2012 (see the related article inthis newsletter).

• Universal Designation for Licensure: A proposal by theAmerican Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) to adopt“P.L.A.” (Professional Landscape Architect) as the universaldesignation for a licensed landscape architect was discussed.The general consensus was that the P.L.A. designation, whilenot conflicting with most state’s laws and rules, would createconfusion, and many delegates felt that CLARB should take thelead on this issue.

• Public Welfare Awareness: Attendees received information onhow to increase public awareness and understanding of howlandscape architects positively affect public welfare using therecently published “Landscape Architecture and PublicWelfare” study (see the related article in this newsletter).

• Continuing Education: The need to harmonize continuingeducation requirements among jurisdictions was discussed, andan update was provided on the Landscape Architecture

Continuing Education System (LA CES), which approvescontinuing education providers for landscape architects.

The following issues were discussed at the NCIDQ Annual Councilof Delegates Meeting in Alexandria, Virginia on November 11-12,2011:

• Beginning the Exam after Graduation: The NCIDQ Board ofDirectors, acting upon a recommendation by the InteriorDesign Experience Program/Student Benefits Task Force,decided to open up Section 1 (Codes, Building Systems andConstruction Standards) of the NCIDQ exam to recent collegegraduates. The remaining two sections (Section 2—DesignApplication, Project Coordination and Professional Practice;Section 3—Interior Design Practicum) will only be offered tocandidates who have completed the experience requirements.The change will become effective with the spring 2013 examadministration (see the related article in this newsletter formore information).

• IDCEC Update: Delegates received an update on efforts by theInterior Design Continuing Education Council (IDCEC) todevelop a new continuing education tracking system.Implementation of the new system is planned for March 2012.

• Logo Use Program: NCIDQ is conducting research regardinga program that would allow active certificate holders to use atrademarked NCIDQ certificate holder logo.

• Broadly Experienced Interior Designer Program: The newBroadly Experienced Interior Designer Program is currentlybeing pilot tested. This new route for eligibility will allowapplicants who have followed a non-traditional path into theprofession to apply for consideration as a candidate for theNCIDQ certificate. Such individuals would not be eligible forregistration in Tennessee without completing an interior designdegree. Board member Leslie Shankman-Cohn served on theBroadly Experienced Interior Designer Task Force.

• Defining HSW: A task force recently developed definitions ofhealth, safety, and welfare as they relate to the practice ofinterior design. NCIDQ will develop a research study on howinterior designers positively affect public welfare, similar to thestudy recently published by CLARB.

• Change to Exam Eligibility Requirements: The NCIDQBoard of Directors has decided to eliminate eligibility Route 5,which requires an associate’s degree with 40 semester hours ofinterior design coursework and 7,040 hours (4 years) ofinterior design experience. This route will be phased outeffective December 31, 2018. After December 31, 2018,NCIDQ will no longer accept applicants for the NCIDQexamination whose formal interior design education consists ofa degree with fewer than 60 semester or 90 quarter-credit hoursof interior-design-related coursework. The seven-year sunsetplan was developed to provide a year of notification time, plusadditional time for a person to enroll in a two-year program,complete it and work for four years to meet the educationrequirement by the end of 2018.

• Interior Design Identity Task Force: The Interior DesignIdentity Task Force is developing a report detailing whereoverlap exists in interior design and architecture and definingthe line where the overlaps stop. The task force is alsostudying how experience requirements vary between theseprofessions. °

New Vendors Selected for the A.R.E.

FINAL PHASE OF IDP 2.0TO BE IMPLEMENTED IN APRIL 2012

The National Council of Architectural Registration Boards(NCARB) will implement the final phase of Intern Development

Program (IDP) 2.0 on April 3-5, 2012. This phase will include newexperience categories and areas, simplified experience settings, and anenhanced electronic system to report IDP experience.

To facilitate these changes, a new, updated, and more user-friendlyelectronic reporting system will be available through My NCARB onthe Council’s website on April 5. On April 3, 2012, the currentreporting system will be shut down and will be inaccessible as thedata is converted to IDP 2.0. Interns must submit any hours underthe current requirements to their supervisor before April 3. Allexperience submitted to their supervisor or approved by theirsupervisor prior to the implementation of the final phase will berolled over. All reports submitted after the new system becomesavailable on April 5 will count toward IDP 2.0 requirements.

IDP 2.0 is the most significant update to the Intern DevelopmentProgram (IDP) since its inception in the 1970s. The Practice Analysisof Architecture was used as the foundation to update the programrequirements to more closely align with the current practice ofarchitecture and to identify the comprehensive training that isessential for competent practice.

Experience Categories, Areas, and Settings

IDP 2.0 will have four experience categories and 17 experience areasthat will replace the current training requirement. The new categoriesand areas are aligned to the phases of project development inarchitecture practice today. Both will have minimum experience hoursthat must be earned.

The overall hours required to complete the IDP will remain 5,600hours. Of those hours, 3,740 must be earned through core hours inthe categories and areas, and 1,860 may be earned through electivehours.

Also, the current seven work settings that interns must be employedin to earn hours will be simplified into three experience settings.Interns must earn 1,860 hours of experience under the directsupervision of an IDP supervisor licensed as an architect in a U.S. orCanadian jurisdiction in an organization engaged in the lawfulpractice of architecture. The two other experience settings allowinterns to work under the direct supervision of other professionals aswell as earn core and elective hours whether or not employed. Therewill also be the opportunity for interns to earn hours throughacademic internships.

IDP SupervisorsAnother major change in IDP 2.0 is the modification of the location-of-licensure requirement for IDP supervisors. The current programrequires that IDP supervisors in certain work settings be licensed inthe jurisdiction where they are located. In IDP 2.0, the definition ofexperience setting A and opportunities within O require that the IDPsupervisor be licensed in a U.S. or Canadian jurisdiction, notnecessarily where he or she is located.

Rollover to IDP 2.0 In order to assist interns with the rollover to the new program,NCARB has launched a new section of its website devoted to IDP 2.0.It includes a history of the program, a timeline for theimplementation, a breakdown of the new categories and areas,definitions of the new experience settings, and other resources. Moretools and resources, including assistance with the rollover rules fromthe old to the new program, will become available over the nextseveral months. New IDP 2.0 Guidelines and IDP 2.0 SupervisorGuidelines with the official rules and requirements are anticipated tobe released in early 2012.

residential and commercial housing/property.Economic benefits include reduction of crime,smart development and growth, improved airand water quality, efficient energy use, enhancedquality of life and health, and access to cultureand recreation.

3. Promotes public health and well-being bymaking connections between human health andwell-being and the conditions of the outdoorenvironment. Landscape architecture projectsdirectly affect the mental and physical health ofindividuals and communities and provideimmediate and lasting therapeutic benefits.

4. Builds community by creating attractive,functional places. Landscape architectsencourage people to engage in theirsurroundings, strengthening social cohesion,which results in healthier, more dynamic, moreresilient communities at the local, national andglobal levels.

5. Encourages landscape awareness andstewardship by stimulating our awareness ofthe landscape, and increasing our understandingof the role that humans play in it. Landscapearchitects encourage citizens to appreciate thelandscape and to participate in the processesthat shape it. Cultivating a symbiotic anditerative relationship between people and theirenvironment, the practice encouragesprotection, stewardship and understanding ofthe landscape.6. Offers aesthetic and creative experiencesthat artists offer: the opportunity to experienceenjoyment, contentment, stimulation or

pleasure by participating in the aestheticexperience of landscape. An important part ofthis dimension is the preservation andprotection of significant historic properties,buildings, structures, districts, culturallandscapes, artistic objects and archaeologicalelements.

7. Enables communities to function moreeffectively by enabling people to function moreeffectively in their environments. Landscapearchitects facilitate many critical humanactivities and functions such as efficient trafficflow, parking, waste collection/recycling, wateruse/drainage, air quality, optimal use of space.

Significance of the Research to theProfession and Public

Initial implications to the profession oflandscape architecture may include:

• A concise, logical, supportable set of themes,messages, and appeals for the profession tobetter communicate its value to diverseaudiences.

• Contribute to enhanced, more relevant scopeof practice at the jurisdictional level andclearer expression of “welfare” concepts incritical standards, such as the “LandscapeArchitect Registration Examination”(L.A.R.E.).

• Deepen an important source of inquiry forinstitutions and creates an opportunity tofurther connect planning and design conceptsto practice in a way that enriches theprofession and serves society through betterquality of life.

Opportunities for Further Inquiry

The study identified three key opportunities forfurther exploration:

• Further develop sound, practical methods ofmeasuring the impacts of landscapearchitecture on public welfare and to integratethem into practice.

• Identify, develop, and systematically collectadditional case studies that illustrate theimportant impacts of public welfare anddeepen understanding of the profession’simpact on it.

• Conduct interdisciplinary research involvingcommunications and the social sciences with agoal being to develop more effective methodsfor communicating qualitative, less-tangibleimpacts associated with the practice oflandscape architecture.

According to CLARB Executive Director JoelAlbizo, “CLARB sponsored thisgroundbreaking research to help theorganization and its member licensure boardsbetter understand the relationship between thelicensed practice of landscape architecture andpublic welfare and to ensure that it wasproperly recognized in the licensureexamination.” He added that the findings havegenerated “substantial interest” inside andoutside the profession and that theorganization is working to share these newinsights more broadly.

The National Council forInterior Design Qualification,Inc. (NCIDQ) has opened itspopular online continuingeducation (CE) registry to all

users. Previously, the registry was an exclusive,free benefit for active NCIDQ Certificateholders, who could use the self-reportingsystem to record and track their CE activity.

“When we launched the online CE systemearlier this year, we heard overwhelminglypositive feedback from our Certificate holderswho loved the instant access to their data atno additional fee,” explains NCIDQ ExecutiveDirector Jeff Kenney. “Almost immediately, weheard from other interior design professionalswho wanted a reliable and efficient method forCE tracking, so we decided to open theregistry to others as a subscription-basedproduct.”

Active NCIDQ Certificate holders will continueto enjoy free access to the registry, while allothers pay a $60 fee for 12 months of access. Atthe end of the subscription period, users canchoose to renew their subscription. The onlinesystem provides users the flexibility to entertheir courses upon completion and view andprint their updated registry instantly. Users enterthe course name, date, presenter and amount ofcredit. They will also provide information on thecourse content and identify the domain, such ashealth & safety, welfare, general knowledge, etc.

The online registry replaces the 15-year oldpaper-based continuing education registry, whichrequired participants to mail in forms and pay$12 to add each class they take into theirregistry. The paper-based system has been closeddown, but individuals’ transcripts are availableuntil June 30, 2012 through NCIDQ’s onlinestore, QShop.

Access to the online system is through NCIDQ’ssecure MyNCIDQ portal. Anyone who has everapplied for the Interior Design ExperienceProgram (IDEP) or the NCIDQ Examination(whether completed or not), taken any part(s) ofthe NCIDQ Examination (regardless of when) orreceived the NCIDQ Certificate already has anaccount established. Individuals who have notpreviously applied for or taken the NCIDQExamination will need to create an account.

NCIDQ OPENS CONTINUING EDUCATION REGISTRY TO ALL USERS

NCIDQ ADJUSTS EXAM PROCESS TO ALLOW EARLY TESTING FOR RECENT GRADUATES

The National Council for Interior DesignQualification, Inc. (NCIDQ) recently

announced a change to its examination processthat would allow a person who meets theeducation requirement to begin taking theNCIDQ Exam before completing all the workexperience.

Beginning in November 2012, NCIDQ willaccept applications for Section 1 of the examfrom applicants who have completed therequired minimum education but not therequired work experience. The change willbecome effective with the spring 2013 examadministration.

This change paves the way for interior designgraduates to take Section 1 at any time whilethey are working toward meeting theirexperience requirement for taking theremaining two sections of the exam. Anyone inthe exam process at the time of this change willnot lose any credit for previously passedsections as a result of this modification, and noadditional testing will be required.

“After a year of study, the Board of Directorsimplemented this change as a way of engagingrecent graduates,” explains Executive Director

Jeffrey F. Kenney. “We know that manygraduates are eager to earn their NCIDQCertificate, and passing Section 1 of the NCIDQExamination will be an important first step.Once they successfully complete that section,they can continue documenting theirexperience until they meet our experiencerequirement for taking Sections 2 and 3 andearning their Certificate.”

All the application requirements and processesremain the same. Beginning in the fall of 2012,a person wishing to be approved to take onlySection 1 will be required to apply to NCIDQ,furnishing transcripts and supportingdocumentation and paying the applicationreview fees, just as applicants do now. NCIDQwill review the application and make theapplicant eligible for only Section 1. Once theapplicant has completed the required amount ofexperience, he or she will apply for theremaining two sections, submitting the requiredsupporting documentation for review andapproval. NCIDQ will require that the applicanthave passed Section 1 not more than five yearsearlier, similar to the requirement in place now.

A person who has already completed both the

education and experience requirements willfollow the same process that is in place now.Passing Section 1 is not a prerequisite to takingSections 2 and 3, although a person must passall three exams to earn the NCIDQ Certificate,just as is required now.

“Very little is really changing with respect tothis modification,” says Kenney. “We have notchanged our requirements or altered ourapplication process. There are still threesections of the exam, and a person must meetall the same entry requirements, supply thesame documentation and pass all three sectionsin order to hold the NCIDQ credential. Thedifference is that some people may choose to dothem in a different order. Recent graduates willapply and take Section 1, gain experience, applyand take Sections 2 and 3 and earn a Certificate.Practicing professionals will gain experience,apply and take all three sections and earn aCertificate.

NCIDQ will be updating its printed and onlinematerials in the next several months to reflectthis change. The earliest someone could applyfor only Section 1 would be the fall of 2012 forthe exams beginning in 2013. °
