NCCER Floor Covering is one craft title within the NCCER curricula and assessment system, delivered through accredited training and assessment programs rather than by a single central exam sitting.

For a floor covering candidate, that means your training and any module or journey-level testing happen through a local accredited center, contractor, high school, or postsecondary partner - use the Find a Center tool to locate one. The content you should expect to be tested on spans craft fundamentals (tools, materials, adhesives, terminology), safety and jobsite practices, substrate and surface preparation, installation methods for resilient, carpet, tile, and related products, plus layout, estimating, and project documentation.
