Certified Kitchen Designer

All designers are not created equal. The designation of Certified Kitchen Designer (CKD) is based on the documented proof of knowledge, ability, and experience in the design of kitchens. Individuals must have a minimum of seven years experience within the industry before being eligible for the exam. A CKD has to prove his or her knowledge, technical understanding and ability to communicate ideas through a stringent examination process conducted by the Society of Certified kitchen and Bath Designers, which is the licensing and certification agency of the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA). He or she must meet these standards before being awarded the CKD designation. Once awarded, the designer must maintain this certification with ongoing professional courses. Furthermore, the CKD adheres to a strict code of professional and moral conduct in business.
