ACCREDITATION

The assessment of applicants to receive accreditation as a Certified Kitchen Designer and/or a Certified Bathroom
Designer is undertaken by a National Accreditation Committee appointed by the Board. All National Accreditation
Committee members are required to hold KBDI Designer accreditation.

The accreditation committee meets twice per year to consider applications for accreditation from members. Application
forms, including the accreditation criteria, are available from the National Office, local Chapters and from the members
area of the website.

Members who have previously been issued with designer accreditation by the NKBA, HIA NKBA or HIA Kitchens
and Bathrooms are issued with current accreditation on forwarding a copy of their original certificate/s to the KBDI
National Office.

Accredited Members have their names entered on a membership register in the category of ‘Designer Member’.

A system of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is offered by the Institute to ensure KBDI Accredited Designers
remain up to date with industry developments. Designers’ CPD records are maintained by the National Office.

The Institute has a range of in-depth training catering for those embarking on a career in Kitchen and/or Bathroom Design

and for working designers who may lack the specialist training required to reach their full potentials.

Accreditation certificates will be current for one year. Re-issue of accreditation will occur every year on satisfactory
attainment of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and renewal of KBDI membership.

Whether you have previously been accredited as a CKD or CBD, have started the accreditation process, or are just
starting out, the KBDI provides a convenient way to achieve current accreditation and enjoy the benefits of membership.
