NCCER has developed an industry-wide approach to safety through a nationally recognized training program. The Construction Site Safety Training Program is a widely used safety system employed by contractors and owners who demand more from their on-site supervisors and safety laborers. This comprehensive standardized safety program deals with site-specific hazards and provides unparalleled national recognition.  This course offers three training level designations which include:

​

• Construction Site Safety Orientation (CSSO)

• Construction Site Safety Supervisor (CSSS)

• Construction Site Safety Technician (CSST)

NCCER Core is designed as a rigorous, competency-based, industry-recognized program for career and technical education. NCCER training programs, including Core, are designed to meet the Department of Labor’s office of apprenticeship requirements for time-based training and are modular in format, allowing for flexibility and custom task training. To earn a Core credential, students are required to complete both written tests and performance evaluations for each module. 

NCCER’s Core credential is recognized throughout the country by the construction industry and meets Perkins funding requirements. For schools governed by the Florida Department of Education, 150 hours of knowledge and skills-based instruction are required.
