Accreditation helps to increase the professionalism of the door systems industry by awarding accreditation to dealers that have reached a certain level of education and have shown a commitment to quality, integrity, and experience.

After the exams have been passed the dealer must provide documentation of

Once IDEA has been earned, the dealer must continue to maintain specified levels of continuing education requirements.
