About the Program

The Foundations of Building and Construction course (ed. 2015) is the Core Curriculum of the Construction and Development Cluster. The NCCER Core Curriculum is taught within this course and is the basis for all construction skills. NCCER strongly recommends that students successfully complete the Core Curriculum before advancing to Level One of their chosen field. The course of study descriptions correlate to the modules of the NCCER national standards and related work-based learning opportunities. The following modules are designed to be completed in approximately 80 hours of instruction and allows for an estimated 20 hours of related u201chand-onu201d applications/work-based learning opportunities to reinforce and extend the learning.
