The NCCER certification workflow starts with completing craft-specific training, passing written and performance assessments via accredited sponsors, and earning a 4-year credential including a wallet card, transcript, and digital badge. Recertification every 4 years requires retaking and passing assessments, followed by downloading an updated, shareable Credly digital badge for LinkedIn and resumes.
