Hear it from our graduates!
I completed the 4 piece Heavy Equipment and MELT program with NCA this summer, over a span of about three months. I have nothing but positive remarks for the academy and in particular, its instructors and staff.
To begin with, Caitlin was wonderful in getting me set up with the paperwork required and helped me sort things out with Veterans Affairs to have the entire course covered under the Education and Training Benefit for the retired military.
Ed, my driving instructor was very knowledgeable and shared a great deal of personal experience he had acquired in the trucking industry. I am now the proud holder of my AZ license thanks to him.
Al and Eric handled heavy equipment and did a good job being patient with me as I learned my way around the hydraulic machines. Al has a great deal of time working in the general construction field, while Eric has trained operators worldwide and worked in mines all over.
NCA is up on the northeast side of the city of Sudbury, a bit of a drive, but it’s worth it. The pit facility is great, and all the heavy equipment was new and in good condition. I can strongly recommend it.
