The National Institute for Metalworking Skills (NIMS) was formed in 1995 by the metalworking trade associations to develop and maintain a globally competitive American workforce. NIMS sets skills standards for the industry, certifies individual skills against those standards and accredits training programs that meet NIMS quality requirements. NIMS testing is used as the Technical Skills Assessment in our Precision Machining program and is taken in Testing Services.
