Our Training EnvironmentCEF promotes a safe environment for both the employee and the employer. Every effort is made to ensure that the employee/trainee abides by the safety guidelines in the classroom and shop areas. CEF also takes every precaution to protect employers from losing their employees/students to other companies. One such policy states that should a CEF instructor participate in any activities to recruit student(s) for his company and or another company, this is grounds for immediate termination. More information is available in both the Student and Instructor Manuals which are available online.

Equal Education Opportunity PolicyConstruction Education Foundation, Inc. (CEF) is committed to providing equal educational opportunities regardless of gender, race, color, religion, age, national origin or disability. CEF provides equal opportunity in accordance with federal and state laws.

Confidentiality StatementAll student and class data hard copies are kept in a locked filing cabinet located in the CEF offices. The student data is kept on a secured server and is protected by a monitored security and firewall system. All reports containing confidential data are shredded prior to their disposal. Companies who sponsor their employees’ training, can access their employees’ training history, attendance, and grades via the CEF website. In order to access this feature, a company must first complete an application and assign a designated contact from their company. Once the application is approved by CEF, the designated contact is given a personalized access code, which allows them to view only their employees’ records from the website.

Students requesting a copy of their transcripts must provide their social security number and other pertinent information to verify that they are that student. Transcripts and other data will not be released to anyone other than the student without a signed authorization form, except if the requesting person is the designated company contact.

Pass-Through Testing

$1143.00 per level; which includes the written and practical exams. Text books not included. Pass-through testing requires taking the entire written and performance tests for that level - just as you would if you attended the class. A certified instructor must administer the performance tests. No college credit will be received. This will be recorded with NCCER.

Note: If it is important for the apprentice to get college credit, there will be an additional charge of $175.00. See testing pages for information.

Documentation Administrative Fee

$100.00 per level per studentThis fee is for any craft training done at a company or a company job site. The company is responsible for providing and paying for a qualified instructor to be certified through the NCCER instructor training course and to maintain all necessary record keeping. The apprentice taking this training receives credit from NCCER, but receives no college credit.

Note 1: Federally registered apprentices will require more documentation sent to the CEF Office. This will therefore cost $200.00 per level.Note 2: If it is important for the apprentice to get college credit, there will be an additional charge of $175.00 per level.

Individual Module Testing Fee

$175.00 per module per studentThis is for skilled craftsmen who would like to take just one specific craft module. The cost of taking a specific module is based on a formula per contact hour. Trainees test results are submitted to NCCER.

Office of Apprentice Federal Registration

Some of our CEF Craft Courses are currently approved by the U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Apprenticeship (OA). The curriculumused in all of these courses is competency based and task oriented.

Students who are federally registered apprentices must work for companies that have a signed agreement with CEF. Companies thatare interested in becoming part of our Federally Registered Program and enrolling employees in a qualified trade may contact CEFfor more information regarding requirements. Companies will be asked to sign an agreement with CEF to comply with the federallyapproved standards of the program. All Apprentice Training courses start in the fall semester of each year. Companies must beregistered with CEF and have a signed agreement prior to August 15th, (before the fall classes commence). This is imperative becausestudents entering into a program are required to fill out paperwork, take prerequisite testing (usually a reading and math test) as well asan interview to evaluate them for the program. Companies will be charged $150.00 for each apprentice registered with the OA program.If for any reason a student is deregistered and reinstated to the OA program, a fee of $150.00 will be charged to the company. Formore information, please contact Patricia Scroggins at CEF at 972.574.5200 x108.

Commercial CarpentryOne of the oldest trades but one of the most important in building any type of finished project is the field of carpentry. With a shortage of journeymen on the horizon the construction industry working along with CEF has developed a two year commercial carpentry program. This two year program is designed to help industry by providing knowledgeable and skilled trades people.
