Just finished my Heavy Equipment Operator schooling and I loved it. I would recommend anyone that is interested in learning how to operate heavy equipment or even just wonders how it is to invest in yourself and go on down to North Country and get started. They also have CDL schooling as well as lineman schooling if you're interested. You'll have a blast. Don't hesitate to call, just do it. You'll find that the staff/employees are very helpful and kind. Thank you North Country for your help and the delicious food as well. Oops, guess I forget to mention the food.😁

Instructions are very knowledgeable and super understanding. Very light hearted atmosphere that allows you to make mistakes and learn from them. The only this that’s missing is that I wish the management had closer ties to the students and closer ties to company’s in the area. You’re on your own when it comes to finding a job they’ll show you jobs in your area through indeed.

The school instructed by Don, Emil, and the occasional Dennis was exactly what I wanted and needed. The scaled instruction and problems given to build skills and confidence in the equipment were both enjoyable and appropriately scoped. The school was very accommodating when needing extra instruction or time. I left a much more confident operator and was even successful at clearing my own property, putting in a driveway, septic, and clearing a building site purely from the skills and lessons learned in this program. It’s difficult to truly express how accommodating and supportive the school is to students voiced concerns and needs which was the most impressive part for me.

The heavy equipment operator course is a good course. You spend the majority of class time in the seat of various pieces of heavy machinery. The instructors and support staff are very helpful. You are given plenty of time to practice on each piece of equipment before completing the practical exercises. I would strongly recommend NCHES if you are considering becoming a heavy equipment operator.

This school is hands down the best. The instructors love their job and are definitely happy to teach. They are also understanding. They get you ready for real life on the job training. I struggle learning new things on paper especially. Don and Dennis do everything they can to make sure I understand. It also helps they expect mistakes at first because you're new to the equipment but they also teach you how to correct your mistakes. If your looking to get your the best experience out of you certification training.This is the place to go. YOU WON'T REGRET IT!!

The instructors and administrative staff are very nice and approachable. They make me feel at ease. The instructors even sugessted a few fabulous parks for me to visit here in the U.P. The instructors are experienced and knowledgeable. I'd say 90% of the class is hands-on equipments training and work sites simulation, which I like. The one improvement that I think the school would benefit from is having a more updated fleet of machinery to train on. Some of the equipments like the dozer, excavator, grader, loader and dump trucks are quite old. Maybe 20+ yrs old equipments. It has seen better days. I don't expect the school to have all the latest and greatest models for us but perhaps a bit more updated.A side from that, I still learned a great deal from the class and of course had fun as well. I would definitely recommend this school to whoever is interested in entering into the construction field or prehaps just wanted to play with these big boys/girls toys. I'm glad I picked this school.

I’m currently going on my 3rd week at north country, and I can say it was the best decision I’ve ever made. The instructors are absolutely amazing and very knowledgeable. I was a little iffy on doing this in the winter months, but they have a huge building that you do most of your work in, so doing this in the winter is not a problem. I’d recommend this school to anyone and everyone that is interested in becoming a heavy equipment operator. 10/10 for sure! 🤙🏻

While looking for some training for heavy equipment I found North Country. I was trying to further my education while using my VA benefits. The staff and crew made it easy and painless. Very responsive and easy to get ahold of them for any questions. The classes are informative and has made me confident in the equipment that they had but also in any piece I would have available to operate. They cover the gear that they train on and the make sure to go over what other options are out there. The instructors are easy to talk to and make you comfortable when asking questions. Having a few veterans as instructors is always good to see as well. 100% would recommend this to anyone looking for some quality education.

As a student this class gave me the opportunity to expand my knowledge on heavy equipment. I enjoyed all the hands on work with the equipment. I came in with some knowledge already but I didn’t expect this class to teach me as much as it did. Anyone thinking about taking a heavy equipment course this is the best one to do!

North Country Heavy Equipment School literally changed my life! I lost my job at a paper mill due to it shutting down indefinitely. I’ve always wanted to learn how to operate heavy equipment since I was young. So, I turned a bad situation into a positive opportunity to better my self. The staff (Emil) was very knowledgeable, friendly, and a joy to be around. His many years of experience of operation and owning his own business make him a great fit and an asset to the School. The life changing part came not only with this training but the CDL I obtained from the Midwest Trucking School. I was able to immediately find employment and do some traveling abroad for work that I would have never been able to do if it wasn’t for the school, and the truly wonderful staff! I highly recommend this school for people with little to no experience all the way to veterans because of the positive work experience, and the great people that make it happen.

This school is awesome!! I am 17 years old and was skeptical about doing it because i’m young but the instructors there were super helpful and treated me as any of the older people, the equipment was good name brand stuff and the instructors knew what they were doing and were super nice! I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to get certified in heavy equipment they do an awesome job!!

North Country Heavy Equipment School is the BEST! They are incredibly professional and know what they are talking about! The class sizes are small so you get so much one to one instruction. Can’t say enough about their great program! Top notch organization from the first call. HIGHLY recommend!
