NCIDQ Exam Updates in SPARK’s first newsletter of the year by Angélique De Pennart. We’re celebrating SPARK’s one-year anniversary with exciting updates for IDA members preparing for the NCIDQ Exam! An NCIDQ Exam prep session is in the works—details will be shared via email in the coming months. Important changes to the NCIDQ Exam format are also on the horizon. Starting in April 2026, the three-part structure will remain, but the Practicum Exam (PRAC) will be replaced by the Implementation Exam (IDIX), featuring stand-alone questions instead of case studies.
