Millwright, Level 2, is the second installment of a four-level curriculum for a standard millwright apprenticeship program. Over the course of the series, you’ll learn the components of the mechanical systems that a millwright interacts with. You’ll also get step-by-step guidance in installing, removing, troubleshooting and maintaining these components.

In the 4th Edition, NCCER’s fully 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, with a more complete range of precision measuring tools, as well as new content on oxyfuel cutting and plasma arc cutting.

You’ll also benefit from a more focused approach to job skills. Across the series, more than 100 hours of elective modules are available for longer programs, to cover more in-depth training.
