Earning a NIMS Credential is a three-step
process:
 |
Complete the
Performance Affidavit (Click
here to download.) The performance affidavit will
either be the machining of a part or the completion of a Credentialing
Achievement Record (CAR). In either case, the end result is a Performance
Affidavit. Fax the affidavit to NIMS at (703) 352-4991 or mail it to NIMS at
3251 Old Lee Highway, Ste 205, Fairfax, VA 22030. (Exception! There is no
performance requirement for Measurement, Materials and Safety).

Remember, the NIMS credential is the
metalworking industry’s only skills certificate that is based on national
standards developed under procedures accredited by the American National
Standards Institute. The NIMS credential is used by the industry to recruit,
hire, place and promote. Firms use the credential to identify skilled
candidates at all levels of employment. The NIMS credential is used by
education and training institutions as performance benchmarks, often as part of
graduation or degree requirements, and often as the basis for advanced credit.
