I graduated from NETTTS in October of 2025. Some of the best instructors, who truly want to see you succeed. They know when you need help, and when you could be working on your own. They push you towards independence even when you think you may not be ready for it. I’m now a licensed driver at 20 years old driving tri axles

Reviews
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.
I’m 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 isn’t 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.
Was an amazing experience had its pros and cons !!!
Good things about it they help you pass your permit easy if you pay attention to class!!! Also if you put time and dedication you will pass your road test !!! I passed 3rd try so wasn’t bad some people take longer due to messing up because its a bit strict! If you look for a job they will help you get one !!! Some instructors are really good some are w.e i would like to thank Joe,Michael,Craig, Gus, Dave,Martino, Aldo and Rick from Pawtucket RI they helped me out a lot and took time to teach me things specially Gus and Dave!!
Bad part about it was that sometimes there was too many students so it was hard to get into trucks. But people always left early so staying until the end is the best thing you can do !!! Staying until the end of the class was the best thing I did.
