Construction Superintendent Certification Program

The flexibility of this program allows you to have your employees complete it on their own or set up a cohort to go through it together. NCCER has created a facilitator guide to help, if you prefer the cohort model. This allows the group to meet on a regular basis, discuss the content, complete some included activities together and share their own experiences.

The program also offers an assessment that can be used at the end of the program or separately as a tool to evaluate your existing superintendents. It results in a certification if they meet the experience requirements and pass the assessment, but more importantly, it produces a gap analysis report that shows their strengths and weaknesses that correlates back to the training for upskilling. For those who don’t pass, this provides them with a clear training plan.

• An easy-to-access, online program that is mobile friendly. Learners can train anytime, anywhere.
• Individuals can work at their own pace and complete the program without any guidance.
• The program can also be delivered to a cohort within a company led by a facilitator. Organizations are encouraged to include their company-specific information as part of the cohort delivery.
• NCCER is in the process of developing a national cohort model for companies who want the cohort experience for their employees but do not have a facilitator to run the program.

• For your company, assigning learners to take the course as self-paced online training makes it easy to get started immediately.
• For participants, self-paced online learning gives them the flexibility to gain new skills while on the go. Participants can fit training into their busy schedules without
  sacrificing time on the job.
• Training in this way also allows aspiring or experienced foremen to learn at their own pace and apply new knowledge directly in the field, boosting quality, safety and productivity on-site.

• Within each lesson, participants encounter Check Your Understanding questions to help them measure their learning progress.
• Review and Practice questions at the end of each course provide a way for the learners to evaluate their understanding of the full course content and practice for the end-of-program assessment. These questions provide real-time feedback on right or wrong answer choices to help learners build their understanding and their confidence prior to the assessment

• The Construction Superintendent Certification Program includes 16 online courses that present instruction through text, audio, scenarios, videos and activities.

• You do not have to set up anyone as a facilitator, but if you would like to set up a cohort to have a group go through the program together, you will have access to a facilitator guide that explains how to set up the cohort, best practices, and activities to do when meeting virtually or in person.
• Selecting a facilitator is totally up to you. This individual may be an experienced superintendent, a company trainer, or anyone else you feel has the time, knowledge and skills to effectively engage with the group and apply the concepts to your organization’s practices.
• If you would like suggestions and/or referrals to qualified facilitators, NCCER can help! Please reach out to the Workforce Development Solutions team.

• The specific responsibilities of a facilitator are at your discretion. Suggested responsibilities include:
  • Reviewing the provided facilitator guide
  • Familiarizing themselves with the program content
  • Determining the frequency of group meetings (e.g., weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly)
  • Assigning learners and providing schedules and deadlines
  • Setting expectations for the group and creating a community of learning
  • Organizing and setting up meetings
  • Addressing questions related to course content
  • Utilizing the pre-designed activities
  • Encouraging learner accountability for completion and setting them up for success
  • Helping learners apply program concepts

• The program was designed and created with industry subject matter experts, technical writers and instructional designers to ensure the program was developed to meet quality online learning standards.
• The program includes clear learning objectives, authentic content, engaging activities, review questions and an end-of-program assessment.
• The end-of-program assessment evaluates the knowledge of the learner and provides a personalized training prescription that shows which areas or knowledge domains the learner has mastered and the domains that may require remediation. You can give the assessment before a learner takes the course and after to see the increase in knowledge.
• You will have access to a dashboard in our learning platform that allows you to see learner progress through key course components and monitor grades and completions.

• The program includes an assessment designed to evaluate your experienced superintendents. If they meet the experience requirements and pass the assessment, they earn certification without having to go through the training. Additionally, the assessment generates a gap analysis report, highlighting their strengths and areas for improvement, which can be aligned with training to support additional upskilling.

• Participants are allowed two attempts to pass the assessment. Each time the assessment is taken, it generates a gap analysis report highlighting strengths and weaknesses directly tied to the training for upskilling.
• For those who don’t pass, this report provides a clear training plan — a focused prescription to address areas of improvement before retaking the assessment.
