NCCER, formerly known as the National
Center for Construction Education and Research, is a
not-for-profit 501(c)(3) education foundation that develops craft training curriculum. This includes construction, maintenance, and
pipeline curricula for more than 70 craft areas, industry-developed
safety programs, management education programs, and a complete line of
skills assessments. These are turn-key programs used by contractors, associations, business, schools, and other educational facilities to train and/or
assess their employees/students in order to earn NCCER credentials.
NCCER accredits organizations to deliver
craft training and issues industry-recognized credentials for training
and testing completions submitted to NCCER via an Accredited Training
Sponsor (ATS) or Assessment Center (AAC). Accredited organizations can certify their own Instructors, conduct training, and administer testing.
