Attend an NC3 Train-the-Trainer Event
In order to certify individuals an instructor must be NC3 Certified through the NC3 Professional Development Train-the-Trainer. Register your instructor for the certification professional development that suits your program. This training takes place at one of NC3's Center of Excellence institutions or industry locations. Instructors will participate in an Master Instructor-led hands-on training. Following the training event, all instructors must pass the NC3 certification exam in order to certify future students.
