The program launched at KBIS 2019 with five badges and added three more in the interim. The Appliance Specialist is the ninth badge, joining Sales & Marketing, Floor Plans & Specifications, Color, Sustainability, Cabinetry, Remodeling, Lighting, and Universal Design. While NKBA’s industry-leading CKBD and CMKBD certifications are centered on designers, the badges may be earned by members in any sector of the industry, including designers, remodelers, manufacturers, dealers, educators, and skilled tradespeople. As an all-industry association, it’s part of NKBA’s ongoing mission to provide educational opportunities for all members at any stage of their professional development.
