Millwright, Level 3, 4th edition

For courses covering millwrighting skills.

Responding to a growing national demand for millwrights

Millwright, Level 3, is the third installment of a four-level curriculum for a standard millwright apprenticeship program. Over the series, trainees learn the components of mechanical systems and get step-by-step guidance in installing, removing, troubleshooting and maintaining them.

In the 4th Edition, NCCER's revised Millwright curriculum moves from five to four levels, to fit a standard four-year industry training program. Content updates in Level 3 reflect modern tools and approaches, with three new elective modules offered. Learners will also benefit from a more focused approach to job skills.
