Success Begins and Ends with Instructors
As an NC3 Certified Instructor, you are a front-line educator working to solve the skills gap by preparing the new skilled labor workforce. It is critical that NC3 Certified Instructors understand, promote, and support industry-driven curriculum and technologies.
How it Works:
NC3 puts state of the art curriculum into classrooms. NC3 Certified Instructors attend a “Train-the-Trainer” in-person event (2-5 days) led by nationally recognized NC3 Master Instructors. Instructors learn how to teach the NC3 stackable credentials including hands-on labs, use of equipment, and industry-sponsored curriculum.
Train-the-Trainer events are a great opportunity to benchmark state of the art technical education facilities across the nation.

It's valuable for me to train other teachers and to be taught myself for continuous improvement as an educator. You need to learn and adapt to what is happening today and not what happened yesterday.
For the instructors, NC3's certifications are a turnkey package - they have a turnkey set of training aids that matches the curriculum but also we want to make sure that the learning environment matches that level of professionalism as well. So if you look at all our labs, Centers of Excellence, and Train-the-Trainer locations, you will see something very similar, reflecting what industry expects for new incoming employees.
All the NC3 curriculum and all the equipment is being introduced to us (at Train-the-Trainer) so we can take it back and start teaching the students with the new equipment and the new curriculum.
In automotive, we are problem solvers. We have to solve the issues within vehicles. When in the classroom, I can actually connect the math skills my high school students are learning in their math classes to practical situations in an automotive environment with the NC3 certifications we offer at our institution.
Being an NC3 master instructor gives me a personal pride to step out and work with other instructors throughout the Nation.
