What is NCCER?

National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER)

The Foundation Academy is now a NCCER Accredited Training and Education Facility (ATEF) sponsored by the Florida Masonry Apprentice and Educational Foundation.

Description

The Studio School team has a full-time staff member who is a NCCER Certified Craft Instructor.  The hands-on instruction will provide participants with college credit. A college workforce certificate includes Year 1 training and credentials for your trade on a national scale through NCCER’s online registry systems. This allows employers to verify completed qualifications with your member ID number.  You will be able to begin your apprenticeship with year 2 wages.

Core construction curriculum classes include OSHA Education and construction technology with written as well as hands-on assessments on our campus.

What is an Accredited Training and Education Facility (ATEF)?
