The diversified courses in kitchen and bath design will prepare the designer to work effectively in the field. SCC is a National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA) endorsed college. Because of this endorsement, students will be awarded credit toward the certifications of a Certified Kitchen Designer (CKD) or a Certified Bath Designer (CBD). These credits may be used to reduce the time of experience needed before a working designer is permitted to sit for the certification exam(s).
