NCCER (National Center for Construction Education & Research) maintains a portable and widely recognized credentialing and certification system through its Registry. This Registry assures portability of skills by providing transcripts, certificates, and wallet cards to students who successfully complete the NCCER Curriculum through an accredited sponsor. These valuable industry credentials benefit students as they seek employment and build their careers. To be entered in NCCER's Registry, you must complete and sign a Registration and Release form. This form will be completed on the first night of class in each semester and requires your Social Security Number and your signature.

You can test out for advanced placement to sit in a higher level class. NCCER Assessments & Certification Testing will evaluate your knowledge and skill level. However, your employer must agree to you being tested.

Testing Fee: Member price: $100 + tax
Future Member price: $200 + tax

What Employers Need to Know

The program saves you money by allowing you the opportunity to pay apprentices a percentage of the journeyman wage while they receive on-the-job-training. Plus, you have the benefit of reviewing the candidates from our hiring pool for consideration, or an existing employee of yours can apply directly to enter the apprenticeship program. It all ads up: ABC's training program can improve your overall profit margin and help you train your skilled craftworkers of the future!
