What Is NCCER?

NCCER (National Center for Construction Education and Research) is a nonprofit organization created by major construction companies to set industry-standard training and credentials for the construction and skilled trades workforce.

NCCER credentials are widely accepted by employers, contractors, and training programs across the U.S.

  • High school CTE students

  • Adults changing careers

  • Anyone preparing for a registered trade program

What Students Learn (17-Week Course)

NCCER Core teaches the essential knowledge and hands-on skills every tradesperson needs, including:

  • Jobsite and workplace safety (OSHA-aligned)

  • Construction math

  • Introduction to hand and power tools

  • Basic construction skills

  • How to read simple construction drawings

  • Rigging and material handling
