Q: How should I manage my current assessment inventory? A: We encourage you to use up what you can in the coming months and be cautious placing new assessment orders as you will only be able to submit until October 2.
Q: Do I have to train? I have always just tested. A: No. You can continue to just test, although NCCER strongly encourages everyone to offer training prior to testing.
Q: Will paper testing still be available? A: Yes, paper testing will still be available. More details will be coming out soon.
Q: Do we have to test both written and performance? A: This is up to the requirements of each operator. Only pipeline operators (not NCCER) can determine the qualification requirements of workers, contractors and subcontractors working on their pipeline.
