Skills Assessment Testing

Most of today's construction workforce lacks formal training and/or credentials having received most or all of their training through on-the-job experience. This has created a problem for employers and property owners as to what skills the employee actually has.

The National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER), in conjunction with various other construction associations has created the National Craft Assessment and Certification Program (NCACP).  This program offers assessment testing of an employee's skills based off of a standard determined for the specific trade being assessed.  This testing can be used to help  in the determination of whether or not to employ an individual, as evidence of an employee's qualification to an owner or government agency, or to support a skill pay raise. 

The program offers benefits to both the employee as well as the employer/owner.  First a permanent transcript is created which documents the skills that the employee has successfully completed.  Second, for those skills that an employee was not able to pass, a recommendation for additional instruction is supplied to help the employee plan for his further education.

The Construction Craft Training Center is an accredited NCCER testing facility for the  National Craft Assessment and Certification Program (NCACP).  Assessments tests are given by appointment only.

Employers are invited to contact us about setting up a program to evaluate their employees or potential employees.  This could be as part of a pre-employment/post-employment program, used in conjunction with an overall employee training program or as part of an overall employee evaluation program.

Employees and Skilled Craft Persons are invited to contact us about their own assessment.  This tool helps an individual plan his/her future by helping him/her understand what he/she knows and where he or she is lacking. Also a transcript of assessed skills could prove invaluable in today's tight job market or as support for a higher wage rate.
