Revised versions of NCCER’s Core: Introduction to Basic Construction Skills, Concrete Construction Levels 1 - 2, Electronic Systems Technician Levels 3 - 4, and Roofing Levels 1 - 2 will be released in 2021. Written in conjunction with national subject matter expert committees, including the American Society of Concrete Contractors, these curricula offer the standardized training and portable credentials trusted by the industry.  

NCCER’s updated Core: Introduction to Basic Construction Skills adds a new module highlighting the successful career pathways in construction. The revised edition features new and more rigorous performance tests, as well as a number of enhancements to the NCCERConnect online version of the curriculum.

The much-anticipated revision of Concrete Construction gives trainees the full scope of tasks on a concrete job site and offers the latest in developments in finishing, concrete repair, and properties of concrete. In addition, the expanded program provides four interim credentials.

NCCER develops and distributes its curricula in partnership with the world’s learning company, Pearson, and ensures that it complies with the Department of Labor’s Office of Apprenticeship requirements for time-based training.
