National Craft Assessment and Certification Program (NCACP)

NCCER’s National Craft Assessment and Certification Program was designed by industry professionals to help bridge the gap in workforce competence.  The program provides assessment of journey-level competence and skills of craft professionals based on industry accepted standards for each craft through knowledge and performance evaluations.  The NCACP also enables contractors to verify the qualifications of potential employees, track the skills and development of their workforce and provide upgrade training in specific areas of need.
