NAHETS Member schools are accredited by the National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER). The accreditation process and procedures for NCCER are published in their standards of accreditation.

NCCER Establishes the benchmark for quality training. Working in partnership with industry and academia, NCCER has developed a system for program accreditation that is similar to those found in institutions of higher learning.

INSTRUCTOR CERTIFICATION A part of the accreditation process, the Instructor Certification Training Program ensures the uniform and consistent delivery of training. This network of certified instructors assures that NCCER’s training programs meet the standards set by the industry.

NATIONAL REGISTRY NCCER maintains a National Registry in order to provide students and craft professionals with industry-recognized credentials and assure national portability of skills. These credentials benefit students as they seek employment and build their careers.

ASSESSMENT & CERTIFICATION NCCER offers a complete series of entry- and journey-level assessments. These assessments evaluate the knowledge and skill level of an individual in a specific craft area and are based upon the Contren® Learning Series curriculum.

INDUSTRY IMAGE NCCER has developed multiple campaigns designed to increase public awareness and improve the image of the construction industry. The BYF campaign includes a career video, promotional material, National Careers in Construction Week, and a career Web site with job search functionality.
