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.read more

This school has been great. Building competencies and knowledge about all these different vital machines and other key construction skills. They are great and friendly instructors who are clear, helpful, fun, and informative. It's good how much time on the machines we're given here. That's what it takes to really learn it, to be practicing it a lot.

Is been a great experience, they train you super well, while also not always hovering over you so you get to learn by yourself sometimes, plenty of equipment and good people you'll know for life, can't recommend this school enough!!

Wanted to find a place to get some experience and certifications on heavy equipment and this came up as the best school for the value. I would agree with that it’s not very expensive compared to the other schools and we’ll worth the value. You get plenty of experience on each machine doing jobs you would do in the real world. The people here are extremely nice as well. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

I started looking for Equipment Schools for my education and found North Country. After being enrolled for a month they well went above and beyond my expectations coming into it. All the staff, students, and instructor were great and friendly. I definitely would recommend this and the Midwest Trucking School to anyone who is interested in these type of trades.

I am currently a student at North County Heavy Equipment School, and I can honesty say that this school has been one of the best decisions I have made. With amazing staff and instructors this school had already taught me so much and is always there for any questions I may have. I would definitely recommend this school to anyone who is looking to get into any kind of heavy equipment work or simply just wants to learn more and get hand on the equipment !

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.read more
