NCCER Offers Assessment and Certification Program


National Center for Construction Education and Research

GAINESVILLE, FL - NCCER offers the National Craft Assessment and Certification Program (NCACP) to measure the knowledge and skill level of journey-level craft professionals in a specific craft area and provide a training prescription for upgrade training. The NCACP also contains level one assessments for entry-level and new employees. The NCACP consists of more than 45 assessments for the construction, maintenance, and pipeline industries and provides contractors with an effective tool to evaluate the skills and productivity of their workforce.

An individual's qualifications are documented and tracked through NCCER's National Registry, a credentialing and certification system assuring national portability of skills.Certifications for the NCACP include certified written, performance verified, and certified plus. 

All assessments are based upon the Contren Learning Series curriculum and are developed in conjunction with Prov, NCCER's test development partner. Assessments are available in either paper/pencil or online format.

A complete listing of assessments is available on NCCER's Web site at www.nccer.org.

NCCER is a not-for-profit 501 (c)(3) education foundation created by the construction industry to develop standardized curriculum with portable credentials and to help address the skilled construction workforce shortage. NCCER is recognized by the industry as the training, assessment, certification, and career development standard for the construction, maintenance, and pipeline craft professional.

NCCER TESTING
(06/24/09 - 02:59 PM)

To get certified via NCCER, go to their webpage at http://www.nccer.org/findCenter.asp
and use the search tool to find an Accredited NCCER Assessment Center near you. Then contact the Assessment Center and find out pricing and schedules for the testing. There is no "online test" that you can take from home, nor are there "practice tests"-you have to go to an Assessment Center where they will proctor the assessment test-you can take it as a paper or computer-based test but you must take it at the Assessment Center. All NCCER tests are referenced in their Curriculum so if you are looking for a study guide, then you shouldl look at their catalog of Craft training textbooks as that is the material they used to build the assessment tests.
