Northwest Lineman College

I am writing because I saw the previous review posted.
I graduated from NLC in in December of 2015. After a few weeks of searching I was able to find work in the power delivery field. I will admit that the job market is is rough in the winter months, but it only took me a little bit of time. NLC has been there for me every step of the way. From letting me continue to use their facility to practice prior to upcoming interviews, or the library to look at different companies standards of construction or to put in resumes.
The previous review also mentions that the gear given doesn’t fit because her son is over 6′ tall, I personally am 6’3″ tall and over weight, and my gear is great. I have needed the gear I purchased at skills assessments along the way, and further I’m glad that we didn’t have to rent any gear as I wouldn’t trust someone else to maintain the gear that I trust my life to.
I also want to respond to the fact that the college requires physical task to be completed. It does, oh boy howdy does it. These task though, are the same tasks that I have experienced at any interview that I have participated in. It is a physically demanding trade, and as a graduate I am glad that they maintain high standards for people completing, as if they lowered those standards it would only serve to weaken the reputation of NLC.
I can tell you that not every job in the power delivery field will require line school, but I also know that without it I wouldn’t currently have a job in the trade. I am glad that I saw the previous review and was able to set the record straight as a former student and graduate.
Thanks for all you have done for me NLC!
