Nathan's Transcript:

"My name is Nathan, I am studying the Solar Technician program at NATS."

"I choose NATS because it was a six month program (relatively short program) and by the end of the program I will end up with a certification that I will use in the field."

"What I like most about the program is that it’s basically like a giant lab, we come in and learn the theory behind it, but we also perform the hands-on stuff in the school. Learning the how to install, how to troubleshoot and how to do things efficiently and properly.

"I see myself in five years (more likely) as a project manager on a solar field installment (so a big solar farm), getting all of the guys to put up the farm and run all of the cable."

"What I like most about our instructors is that they are intuitive, they listen to us for what we have to say (any of our input), they thoroughly listen to our questions and if we have an idea they let us run with it. The only way you are going to learn is through your own mistakes."

"My family has always been a firm believer in education so for me furthering my education; whether it be in a trade or elsewhere they are always going to be a supporter of that."

"If somebody is undecided about coming to NATS, I would tell them to further investigate what they want to do and what they want to obtain out of their education."

"If they want to walk away with a certification that going to lead them in the field ready and willing to work and not worrying about finding money to pay for that certification... it’s the way to go, it’s here at NATS."
