The NCCER Core Construction Certification Prep is a hands-on program that builds the foundational skills required for entry into any construction craft apprenticeship. Aligned with the NCCER Core Curriculum: Introduction to Basic Construction Skills (Modules 00101-00109), the course blends classroom instruction, tool demonstrations, and shop-floor performance tasks. Learners master OSHA-compliant safety habits, job-site math, tool selection and operation, blueprint reading, basic rigging, communication, employability, and material-handling techniques. Successful completion of all written module tests and performance verifications qualifies students for the nationally recognized NCCER Core credential, unlocking pathways into craft-specific Level 1 training and entry-level employment across the construction industry.
The national registry deems the graduate “NCCER Core Certified.” NCCER is the National Center for Construction Education and Research accrediting training sponsor and issues credentialing in the individual construction industry-based modules.
The student's credentials are entered into the NCCER National Registry System after completing the program. These credentials are lifetime credentials that will follow the craftsman throughout his lifetime.
