Students in a Build Pagosa classroom
Program FAQ

Do students leave with a qualification?

Answer

They can. Build Pagosa helps teachers earn industry-recognized accreditations such as NCCER, which lets them formally certify their students rather than only teach the skills. A certified student enters the job market with documented, third-party-validated competency, which opens the door to higher starting wages and faster advancement.
