Certification
The NKBA developed its certification programs as a way for kitchen and bath professionals to enhance their careers and market themselves as experts in the specific competencies related to their business. NKBA certification is based on in-depth testing and extensive industry experience. The NKBA’s certification examinations are developed by CASTLE Worldwide, Inc. in conjunction with NKBA’s Exam Development Committee. A role delineation study determines the knowledge and skills to be tested and is linked to the examination content to ensure that the examination is content valid. The primary body of knowledge for NKBA certification is the nine volume Professional Resource Library and the NKBA Kitchen & Bathroom Planning Guidelines.
