How does one obtain an interior designer’s license/ what is required to be licensed as an interior designer?
My boss has asked me to find out how we can get an interior designer license. We are located in Tampa, Florida. The city website isn’t much help and before I get on the phone and go through the long process of finding someone who knows what they are talking about I figured I’d ask Yahoo!
WIthout getting a degree – how does one in the design field become licensed to purcahse materials wholesale.

I have a company that produces Laser Etched art work on Granite. My question is, do I need to be a licensed contractor in the state of California when I do instalations?
We Virtuallly always we use z-clips to mount our etchings to the wall. We are not permantly attached anywheres other then some screws into the studs. The cost would be generaly over $500 to install. (This of coarse includes travel etc.)
The way I understand it is if your not permanantly attaching to the structure your not required to have a license. I wouldnt consider a screw a permanent attachment.
Does anybody have any insight on this?

Thanks
