are eligible to sit for the Fundamentals Exam (IDFX)

Prior to Earning Work Experience

Students in the final-year* of a Bachelors or Masters Degree Program and New Graduates are eligible to apply NCIDQ IDFX Only. Immediately upon approval, an IDFX Only applicant's time clock will start, giving them four exam windows to successfully register, take, and pass the IDFX exam.  A passing IDFX Only score will remain valid, allowing the NCIDQ candidate to earn the required work experience before returning to apply for the remaining exam sections. IDFX Only candidates will be required to submit a new IDPX/PRAC application, take and pass the additional sections under a new 10 exam window time frame, in order to earn an NCIDQ Certificate.
