Don’t Just Take Our Word For It
“From the instructors—all former linemen—to thehands-on curriculum, NALTC truly set me apart as I entered the industry... I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to have attended NALTC and for the dedicated personnel who make the school what it is.”
“One of the most beneficial things about NALTC, in my opinion, is the family atmosphere. Being away from home can be tough sometimes, but the instructors and most of the students I attended with really made it feel like home… I would absolutely recommend NALTC to others.”
“I had a great experience at NALTC and chose the school because of the lower student-to-instructor ratio. I graduated with a job at a contractor in my home state and ended up getting hired on at the power company... I would recommend the school to anyone interested in starting in line work.”
“My experience at NALTC was nothing short of amazing… The instructors were incredible—real people who genuinely care about their students. They pushed us, supported us, and gave us an honest look at what life in this trade is truly like.”
“NALTC gave me the skills, confidence, and credibility to rise above the competition and secure a career in power. If you’re serious about becoming a lineman, I highly recommend NALTC. The education and experience I gained here were exactly what I needed to launch my career.”
