I graduated from NETTTS in October of 2020. That was the year that COVID hit us and the school really tried to make every accommodation that they could for the students in the HVAC program.
Im really grateful to the instructors and staff and I consider many of them friends to this day. They are there to share their years of knowledge and experience but you have to come in with a positive attitude and mindset.
This isnt High School and they are not just there to pass you through. Here is what I want want you to take away from this post:
I went to school there when I was 40. I worked a full time job and a part time job. I had my three kids on the weekends. If you really want to make the change for steps at a better life and a solid career, apply to NETTTS. If you show that you are serious, determined and respectful of the classroom (not just the instructors but the other students), the instructors will work with you and help you succeed. I recommend that you contact Jim and request a tour if you have even a little interest in ANY trade. This school gives you a dip into a lot of fields.

If you're not ready to face your challenges with sweat tears and fight for your dreams and goals than you should do your research cuz what's good to have 540 plus hours and a certificate if you can't get your license upon completion. Be ready to invest your time and money cuz if it was easy every one will be doing it.you will be face with disappointment and betrayal but at the end it will built your character you just created for yourself a big headache and a debt that it won't go stay tuned every one

Experience would've been much better if we didn't have people discuss politics and making racial slurs at each other on a daily basis. School is very unorganized and disrespectful instructor specifically the one who called the class a bunch of monkeys when telling us to move our seats to take a test. despite all the negatives I'd say the only positive I got out of this school is getting my EPA, meeting new friends and got a job as an apprentice.
