CERTIFICATIONS MATTER!
NKBA certifications create deeper trust with your designer.
When considering a kitchen or bath remodel, certifications do matter! Especially when you are trusting something as important as your kitchen or bath design, the heart of your home, to be built or remodeled.
Thankfully, there is a highly valued and trusted set of standards and guidelines created by the NKBA (National Kitchen and Bath Association). The NKBA, a non-profit organization started in 1963 as a network of kitchen dealers, is now the premier association that supports, educates, and promotes professionalism. The NKBA certifies designers and others in the kitchen and bath industry. A designer who holds a NKBA certification is respected in the industry as a true expert in their field.
Certification levels by the NKBA
The NKBA has five professional certifications. Certifications range from an Associate Kitchen and Bath Designer (AKBD) to a Certified Master Kitchen and Bath Designer (CMKBD).
1. Associate Kitchen and Bath Designer (AKBD)
2. Certified Kitchen Designer (CKD)
3. Certified Bath Designer (CBD)
4. Certified Kitchen and Bath Designer (CKBD)
5. Certified Master Kitchen and Bath Designer (CMKBD)
Each one of these certifications are earned through in-depth education and testing as well as dedication and hard work in the industry. Proficiencies range from drawing and planning skills to building code knowledge, along with plumbing, mechanical, and electrical knowledge. Applicants must have the capability to draw and communicate with the trades for a successful project. Whatever the certification, you can trust a designer who has these credentials.
