Book Smart Masons
BY STEVEN FECHINO
MASONRY IS AN INDUSTRY THAT HAS ENDURED THE TEST OF TIME. Education within this industry will continue to evolve as new products, equipment and designs create the need for updated training for our apprentices and journeymen. The National Center for Continuing Education and Research (NCCER) has been on the forefront of the educational update since 1989, when it published the first series of masonry textbooks for the training of secondary and post-secondary students. NCCER is a not�for�profit 501(c)(3) edu�cation foundation created to fill the need for standardized masonry curriculum. NCCER is recognized by the construction industry, covering more than 70 different disciplines as the training, assessment, certification and career development stan�dard for the craft professional.
