The National Craft Assessment and Certification Program (NCACP) evaluates journey-level knowledge and skills of experienced craft professionals and provides a training prescription to upgrade training. Not only does the NCACP provide contractors with an effective tool to evaluate the skills and productivity of their workforce, it allows owners to achieve higher quality construction with increased cost-effectiveness.

Certification of an individual's qualifications are tracked through NCCER's National Registry. Credentials include certified, performance verified, and certified plus. These industry credentials give employers confidence in the craft professional's skill, knowledge, and desire for continuous improvement.
