  • Attendance is mandatory and strictly enforced. Students must maintain a 70% or greater attendance rate to receive NCCER certifications and pass the course. However, a significantly higher percentage is required by many of our industry partners when considering offers for an apprenticeship position. While emergencies happen, students should plan on attending class every day.
  • Mastery of skills is required. Students must earn a minimum grade of 70% on all NCCER course modules to earn a certificate of completion and pass the course. However, many industry partners only offer apprenticeship positions to top performers. Students should commit to applying their very best effort during training to master the required skills.

 

 

Overview

​

NCCER Certifications

NCCER is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) education foundation created in 1996 as The National Center for Construction Education and Research. It was developed with the support of more than 125 construction CEOs and various association and academic leaders who united to revolutionize training for the construction industry. Sharing the common goal of developing a safe and productive workforce, these companies created a standardized training and credentialing program for the industry. This progressive program has evolved into curricula for more than 70 craft areas and a complete series of more than 70 assessments offered in over 4,000 NCCER-accredited training and assessment locations across the United States.
