The NCCER Roofing Journey-Level Assessment sits inside NCCER's National Craft Assessment and Certification Program (NCACP), which assesses both the skills and knowledge of current craft professionals against industry standards. NCCER describes the audience as contractors and owners verifying journey-level competency before deployment, workforce development and training teams targeting faster upskilling, HR and operations leaders building skills-based talent pipelines, and craft professionals seeking to validate experience and advance their careers. The program bundles four components: knowledge assessments that validate knowledge, performance verifications that verify skills, personalized training plans that close skill gaps, and industry-recognized credentials that certify a workforce. Roofing appears as a craft filter option on NCCER's assessment listing, and journey level is one of the assessment levels offered; assessment languages listed include English and Spanish.
