 Youth Confirmation Resources (NCEA ACRE)

The NCEA ACRE is a tool that is to be used at the beginning of the Confirmation process to assess what the candidates already know and to tailor your curriculum based on the areas needing more review/ time. As you prepare to administer the NCEA Level 2 ACRE to your first year Confirmation students, the Office of Faith Formation will help and support you in whatever way we can during this preparation time.

Here you will find resources that best explain the NCEA ACRE’s purpose, distinguish the difference between an “assessment” and a "test."

Please look at the above document to best understand what the NCEA ACRE is all about. Additional resources, such as the administration manual, interpretation manual, sample questions and ordering form can be found here:
