Is IDEX an upgrade (or a downgrade) to certification?

IDEX is certainly not a downgrade nor technically an upgrade. It is an attempt to bring the certification examination process in line with California law (Section 139 B&P Code) and keep it inclusive without discriminating against anyone who wants to take it. After passing IDEX you are still not a CID unless you have met all the other education and experience requirements.
