The NCCER Core Curriculum is a prerequisite to all other Level 1 craft curriculum. This course provides the trainee the basic skills needed to continue education in any craft area she or he chooses. We can go on to teach other classes in the future after our instructor is trained by our master trainer for those classes.
Other classes available to add to NCCER Curriculum in future:
Carpentry, Construction Technology, Electrical, Heavy Equipment Operations, HVAC, Masonry, Welding…
Through our sponsor, we have a program administrator to work directly with for forms, billing, and any details, as well as a master trainer that will be on site for helping to set up programming, collaborating with me for career placements, opportunities for field trips, job shadowing, and projects that can be added on campus.
Training during Core and through apprenticeship articulates into College Credit also. You can become an apprentice, and then use the credit from your workforce certification you will receive.
