Microcad Software is pleased to announce that utokitchen® has been chosen by the NKBA as a software option for candidates taking their certification exams.
Beginning with the September 2008 exams, the NKBA will offer candidates the option of taking an exam using the
traditional paper and pencil hand drafting approach or using a modified CAD program.
These candidates are testing to obtain NKBA certification status as a Certified Kitchen Designer (CKD), Certified
Kitchen Educator (CKE), Certified Bath Designer (CBD), and/or Certified Bath Educator (CBE).
NKBA’s new application form allows candidates to choose if they prefer hand drafting or software. If they choose
software, the program will have certain features disabled, so as not to have an unfair advantage over candidates using
hand drafting. Microcad Software has agreed to modify utokitchen® per the NKBA’s requirements at no charge to the
Association. The software will be offered to registered candidates free of charge.
The National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA) is a non-profit trade association that owns the Kitchen/Bath
Industry Show & Conference (K/BIS®). With more than 42,000 members, the NKBA has educated and led the kitchen
and bath industry for 45 years.
The mission of the NKBA is to enhance member success and excellence, promote professionalism and ethical
business practices and provide leadership and direction for the kitchen and bath industry. For more information,
please visit the NKBA Press Room at www.nkba.org/press or call (800) THE-NKBA.
