Everyone was super kind and helpful and answered all questions I had. It was an absolute blast to go through the NCCCO course at PTS and a great start to getting a career in crane operations.

Very friendly people and they allways go out of the way to make sure you understand before moving forward. Highly recommended if you want to be an equipment operator they will definitely get you to where you need to be.

Had a Blast. Great Manager,Office Staff, Teacher’s, class rooms equipment and all learning areas. Couldn’t have been in a better place. Just really grateful that I found the school that wanted me to succeed and go on to my full blown career in heavy 1 &2. Thanks Guys best of luck to the School. Wonderful Place

I attended PTS for the heavy equipment and crane classes and it gave me valuable experience for operating all kinds of equipment. The instructors were very knowledgeable and helped me throughout my training. I ended up finding a crane operating job shortly after I finished training.

PTS was a great experience. I took the Mobile Crane certification and my instructors had a tremendous amount of experience and were 100% committed to my success in getting my NCCCO Certification. The classroom work was 100% effective in communicating the knowledge needed to pass the written test and the practical experience and coaching of our instructors while learning to operate the cranes was instrumental in my success.

“Thank you so much! It looks like I am going to start working Monday operating a carry deck 40 ton. It’s a URS job. My brother may be going, too. We will know later today. It’s supposed to be long-term!”

“I got the job at Ace Iron and Metal as an operator. Thanks for the lead. It seems to be a good job so far. It has good pay and everything I was looking for. Thanks for everything again.”

“I got hired today by a construction company with full benefits. Your polished resume did the trick. I sent it one day and was hired two days later. Rising up out of the ashes thanks to you guys. This particular project lasts for eight more months, and I was told I will go to the next one if I choose to.”

“I went to the Operator Engineers Local 132 Union Hall in Wheeling, WV last Friday and they put me straight to work. I started work today for URS in Moundsville operating a 40 ton Grove. I would recommend any student that needs help finding work to consider the union. They are starting me out at $33.66/hr. Thanks for all of your help.”

“Thank you for all the help. I finally got my job a month ago from the email you sent me. Didn’t want to reply until I made sure this was the one, and it is. I’m now employed at Martin Marietta Materials and am here to stay. I’m still in training as a loader operator. Real fun stuff. I don’t think I would have gotten hired. They needed a year of experience but I showed them my certificate and told them to give me a shot. Without PTS, I don’t think I would have had the chance! Thanks again — take care.”

“I would like you to know that today was my first day of work. I got hired as a crane operator at the AEP Mitchell power plant. I am working for the Bowen Construction Co. I was hired out of the Wheeling Operating Engineers Union Hall. Tell Fred that his schooling really paid off. And tell the boys hey, and thanks for the knowledge. I am starting out at 30.92 an hour. How about that? Thank you.”
