   Do I need to buy any books if I take the on-line IDEX prep. course? Or all the study material will be included in the hand-outs?

   Thanks for your question about books. My online class is complete – – it covers all three of the IDEX Classification Domains, and was
   created *directly from the California Codes and the IDEX reference books* that were used to
   write the IDEX exam as shown on #8 on my syllabus at: http://idexprep.com/syllabus-idexprep-class.html

   That said, if your want to buy other reference books, it is entirely up to you. In my class and in the other
   reference books, there may be some duplication of information, but not entirely.

   I have received great feedback from previous students who have said thanks to my class, my prep materials were spot on,
   and very relevant to the exam they took, and they had confidence they passed (and they actually did).

   As you know, all designers come to take the IDEX with different education and experience, so while I know my class is very
   comprehensive, and my students have a high passing rate of 97%, it is still impossible for me to say with absolute certainty
   if you need anything else.

   If I may, I’d like to invite you to try the FREE demo class if you have not already done so. The free class is for one day and
   basically shows you inside the classroom and handout area; and you get to see if the presentations and quizzes
   are compatible with your computer and web browser.

   I hope my reply somewhat helpful to you, and if you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

   Hello,

   During the year, I understand the IDEX exam is offered in May and October. In order to prepare to travel, please let me know if the exam is offered in the Los Angeles area and the specific dates of the exam.

   Thank you,
   Ms. Erika Lewis

   Yes, the IDEX exam is offered in May and October. The dates are always for the entire month, May 1-31, and October 1-31, no matter what year.

   There are USA and International internet based testing sites offered by Castle Worldwide, but please note that not every site will be available for every testing window. Once CCIDC approves you to take the IDEX® California exam, you will receive a web link with your notice to schedule your exam and that notice will give you which sites, dates, and times are available during the testing window for which you are scheduling.

   If you have further questions on the IDEX and L.A. locations, please email the CCIDC office using the email address: becomecertified@ccidc.org
