• Blueprint for Success
• Blueprint for Success explores individual, interpersonal and team
skills focusing on enhancing three foundation skills of success:
– 1) basic skills such as speaking and listening
– 2) thinking skills such as creativity, decision-making, problem-solving,
reasoning, conflict resolution
– 3) personal qualities such as individual responsibility, self-esteem,
sociability, self-management and integrity.
• Students will learn to use skills in critical and creative thinking,
management, communication (both oral and written) and
leadership to solve problems and make decisions.
• Written communication skills will focus on journaling and
sequencing processes.

NCCER FAQs and Answers
Why NCCER?
•
•
•
•
National / International Industry Standards
Industry Developed
Industry Validated
Standardized Curriculum
Reading Level of Material?
• Most modules within Core and Levels 1 and 2
of a given trade are written at the 8th grade
level.
– As the students advance within the training
modules they can experience more technical
information.
• Material is based on the language within a
specific occupation as determined necessary
for successful employment on a National level.
How Are NCCER Modules Tested?
• Closed book tests on the related materials at the
end of each module. Minimum passing score is
70%. Students may retest after a minimum
waiting period of 48 hours on all NCCER written
examinations.
• Performance exams as prescribed at the end of
each NCCER module are Pass/Fail. Retesting of
students not meeting the criteria for passing a
performance exam is left to the instructor to
determine when to be appropriate.
Are NCCER textbooks the only materials
within our occupational programs?
• NO, NO & NO!
• CTE instructors are encouraged to utilize all
resource materials they deem necessary in
teaching concepts within their respective
trades.
• NCCER text materials are required in order to
offer the credentialing process available
through NCCER.
What about students with IEP’s?
• End of module written tests may be read, one-on-one
to trainees who have special needs (i.e. trainees in high
school programs with IEP documentation)
• The instructor must work through the Sponsor
Representative (WVDE) on these requests
• A copy of any IEP documentation must be retained by
the instructor (at the location the training is being
provided) and by the ATS for auditing purposes
• A copy must be provided to the Sponsor
Representative of the deviation from policy
• Written tests are not to be read aloud in a group
setting
Skill Sets verses Courses?
• Skill sets are contained within each NCCER
module and credentials are earned with the
successful passing of written and performance
based exams as prescribed by NCCER
standards.
• Courses are what students are enrolled in to
receive WVDE credits toward graduation.
Will Global21 Assessment be replaced by
NCCER End of Modules exams?
• YES
Do NCCER Modules have to be taught in
the order they appear in the curriculum?
• The instructor can be flexible in delivering the
modules as they fit in the class time schedule.
• Instructors may offer Level 1 modules at the
same time Core material is being presented.
• Instructors can team teach concepts with other
instructors as a means of more efficient use of
classroom time.
• Each module is assigned a number of hours
representing the suggested teaching time for that
specific module.
What about Guest and/or Substitute
Instructors in the programs?
• Guest instructors can be utilized as long as all of the following are
met:
– the instructor is in attendance
– the information is consistent with the training objectives
• In emergency situations (i.e., an instructor leaves abruptly, takes ill,
or is involved in an accident), a non-certified NCCER instructor may
be utilized if:
– the instructor and the ATS are actively pursuing certification status
and
– the non-certified instructor successfully completes the Instructor
Certification Training Program (ICTP) and is certified within 90 days of
the date of the substitution
• Training completions may not be submitted to the Automated
National Registry (ANR) until the instructor successfully completes
the ICTP
Do Curriculum Levels Expire?
• Curriculum levels do expire when revisions to the
curriculum have been made and under the
following guidelines:
– training completed using the previous versions of the
Contren Learning Series modules within a level will be
accepted by the ANR for a grace period of up to five
(5) years after a revision
– training completed after the grace period will not be
accepted
– training that is submitted after the expiration date will
be accepted as long as the training took place prior to
the expiration of the grace period
Does the Instructor Credential Expire?
• Once the instructor goes through the 3 day
ICTP, they are required to teach at least 1
module every 2 years and submit a Form 200
to the ATS to keep their NCCER Craft Instructor
Certification.
NCCER Basics
• Trainees must successfully complete both the written
and performance test to receive credit for a module.
• The instructor submits the completion on Form 200
(NCCER Training Report Form) into the ANR, for the
Sponsor Representative to approve and submit
• NCCER will enter the completion into the National
Registry and send the ATS an updated transcript
• NCCER will issue certificates and a congratulatory letter
for each level completed
• Transcripts will be issued with each registry submission
NCCER Basics
• Trainees receive a transcript for all training modules.
Certificate and wallet card are granted when a trainee
completes Core Curriculum and subsequent craft level
• One wallet card will be issued to the trainee when the
first credential is obtained and the trainee will be able
to track his/her training accomplishments online via
the ANR
• The Sponsor Representative or ATS Designee will audit
participating schools to ensure compliance with
NCCER’s Guidelines concerning documentation of
module completions, test security, accreditation of
instructors, safety and course content evaluations
