Millwright Level 4, 4th edition

For courses covering millwrighting skills.

Responding to a growing national demand for millwrights

Millwright, Level 4, is the final installment of a four-level curriculum for a standard millwright apprenticeship program. Over 14 modules, students learn the components of the mechanical systems that a millwright interacts with. They also get step-by-step guidance in installing, removing, troubleshooting and maintaining these components.

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 reflect modern tools and approaches, plus more coverage of maintenance topics. Students will also benefit from a more focused approach to job skills.
