PATHWAY CONNECTION

Hudson County Community College National Institute for Certification in Engineering Technologies (NICET) Level I and Level II certification preparatory courses equip students with the understanding and skills needed to achieve the NICET Certification in the construction field. The preparatory courses will help students with their understanding of the safety, sustainability, and environmental aspects of today’s modern construction industry. The courses bridge the existing gap between theoretical knowledge and field realities.

The learning outcomes of the NICET non-credit certificate courses (Level I and Level II) were assessed and evaluated by Hudson County Community College (HCCC) faculty for college credit equivalency. It was determined that the learning outcomes of the Level I and II NICET certificate courses do not meet the learning outcomes of any Construction Management courses or certificates, therefore NICET certificate courses cannot be awarded college credit in HCCC’s Construction Management program.

The NICET certificate preparation courses will continue to be offered as stand-alone non-credit certificates as employers have indicated interest in having employees NICET certified.
