Chapter 1. General Provisions
§101. Introduction
A. The National Center for Construction Education and
Research (NCCER) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) foundation for
education providing curricula to diversified craft-based
businesses. These include industries tied to construction,
pipeline, and maintenance. Various industries such as trade
associations, construction, schools, contractors, and
maintenance users, manufacturers, third-party training
providers, and pipeline operators support the efforts of
NCCER.
B. The NCCER has coordinated with industry to develop
curricula that is respected and acknowledged nationwide.
Their curricula are nationally standardized, portable, and
competency based. The NCCER has earned the respect and
acknowledgement of industry and is partnered with various
industry sectors such as construction, pipeline and
maintenance. A National Registry has been developed which
lists all students who have been awarded industry-based
certifications in a number of crafts which allows employers
to draw from a workforce they know have been trained by
using a nationally consistent curricula.
C. The Louisiana Department of Education (LDE) serves
as the state sponsor for NCCER certification for both
secondary and postsecondary students. Adoption of common
curricula for craft-based courses by both the LDE and
Louisiana Technical College (LTC) will facilitate
articulation. Upon successful completion of NCCER
training, students can earn industry-based certifications in
heating, venting, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVAC-
R); carpentry; and electrical. Documentation of these
certifications is maintained on the NCCER National Registry
offering students a portable credential recognized by
industry.
