“NCCERconnect gives my students 24/7 access and allows me to track exactly where they need help.”

– Electrical-technology instructor, Louisiana

“Since moving to NCCERconnect our Level 1 apprentices finish their modules about 25 percent faster, and I don’t spend Sunday night grading.”

Credentials that open doors — and build confidence

NCCER credentials are recognized nationwide, giving learners an advantage when applying for jobs and giving employers confidence in a proven, skilled crew.

Learn about NCCER credentialing

"Having NCCER credentials is so important, especially to hiring contractors. It really separates trainees applying for a career from a person who doesn’t have NCCER credentials … when they get on the job site, they are ready to show, improve and perform."

– Desmond Marshall, Chief Operation Officer, Project H.O.O.D.
