Resources for NCCER training sponsors and contractors.
A free audit readiness assessment, the governance documents we publish, and insights from the field.
We built this page for the people who need useful information — not marketing. Take the assessment to see where your program stands. Download our governance documents to examine how we work before you hire us. Read what we’re seeing in the field.
Free Audit Readiness Assessment
Find out where your program stands across five dimensions of audit readiness. Two ways to start.
Take the online self-assessment
Our 22-question self-assessment scores your program across the five dimensions in about 10 minutes. You get an instant readiness score and a written summary. Use it on your own, or bring the results to a call with us.
Pricing and timeline
Per engagement, depending on program size, scope, and any recovery work required from prior cycles.
6-12 weeks typical. Rush engagements (4 weeks) available with surcharge when audit dates are imminent. Fixed scope, fixed pricing — no hourly billing, no surprise invoices.
Schedule the 30-minute call
A live conversation with a Forgemark senior partner. We walk through the same five dimensions and give you our honest, specific read on where your program stands. No pitch. No obligation.
Most customers do both: take the self-assessment first, then book a call to discuss results in depth.
Published Standards & Governance
Most compliance firms publish nothing. We publish our work because the people we serve hold real accountability for their programs. They deserve to examine our methodology before we touch their evidence — not after.
The four documents below are the working standards that govern every Forgemark engagement.
Audit-Defensibility Statement
A compliance-officer briefing on how Forgemark approaches audit-defensibility. Covers our review methodology, our standards of evidence, and how we make sure every deliverable will survive scrutiny.

AI Usage Standard
Our customer-facing one-pager describing where Forgemark uses AI in compliance work, where we don’t, and what that means for the audit-defensibility of our deliverables.
Download the PDF.
Data Processing Addendum
The enterprise contract attachment governing how Forgemark handles customer data. Includes subprocessor disclosure, retention policies, and incident-response commitments.

AI Usage SOP
Our internal 21-section operations manual governing how Forgemark personnel use AI tools in customer work. Binding on every Forgemark senior partner, auditor, and associate. Published for customer transparency.
